Trinity Basin Preparatory - West

Trinity Basin Preparatory - West is an elementary school in Fort Worth, TX, serving 441 students in grades PK-5 with a moderate level of economic diversity (46% eligible for free or reduced lunch) and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.6:1.

This school stands out for its consistent academic performance, which is notably higher than many nearby schools. In the most recent ranking year, it placed in the 44th percentile statewide, outperforming nearby schools like Western Hills Elementary (6th percentile), Liberty Elementary (3rd percentile), and Idea Rise Academy (3rd percentile). A key strength is early reading: 57.41% of 3rd graders were proficient, well above the state average and dramatically higher than every nearby school. The school also excels with its Special Education students, who ranked in the 75th percentile statewide. However, it struggles significantly with English Language Learners, who ranked in the 27th percentile, and mathematics scores have declined, with only 26.03% of 5th graders proficient—nearly 22 points below the state average.

Compared to the area's top-performing magnet school, Fine Arts Academy (60th percentile), Trinity Basin Prep is a solid middle-ground option. It outperforms the high-poverty Fort Worth Independent School District (Isd) schools in the area but doesn't reach the heights of the magnet program. The school's performance is uneven across student groups: while Special Education students thrive, African American students saw a sharp drop from the 57th to the 17th percentile in one year. This suggests that success depends on specific programs or teachers that may not be consistently applied. For families seeking a stable alternative to struggling local traditional public schools, Trinity Basin Prep offers strong early literacy and special education support, though math instruction and support for English learners need attention.
