Summary

Trinity Basin Preparatory - Mesquite is a public charter school in Mesquite, TX, serving 800 students in pre-kindergarten through 8th grade, and is part of the Trinity Basin Preparatory district.

This school is facing significant academic challenges, with its state ranking dropping to the 12th percentile—far below nearby traditional public schools like Motley Elementary (80th percentile) and McKenzie Elementary (56th percentile). A major red flag is the 7th-grade math performance, where 0% of students were proficient, compared to the state average of 29.41%. While the school shows some strength in upper-grade reading (55% proficiency in 7th and 8th grade), its lower grades struggle, with only 22% of 3rd graders proficient in reading. This inconsistency suggests the school may be more effective with students who have been enrolled longer, but the overall trend is concerning.

Despite spending $14,465 per student—significantly more than any nearby school—Trinity Basin Preparatory achieves lower academic results. For example, Range Elementary, just 0.21 miles away, spends only $8,710 per student but outperforms Trinity in nearly every subject, such as 5th-grade math (35.9% vs. 30.14%) and 4th-grade reading (41.38% vs. 30.86%). The school also has larger class sizes (17.9:1 student-teacher ratio) compared to the average of 13.7:1 at nearby schools. For families considering options, the traditional public schools in the Mesquite Independent School District (Isd) are achieving far better outcomes with fewer resources, challenging the value of this charter school.
