Trinity Basin Preparatory - South

Trinity Basin Preparatory - South is a public charter school in Fort Worth, TX, serving 534 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 7th grade in a community where over 73% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Overall, the school's academic performance is significantly below the state average, ranking in the bottom 14th percentile of Texas elementary schools. However, the school shows a "two-speed" pattern: it has notable strengths in some areas and critical weaknesses in others. For instance, while math proficiency is a major concern—with only about 14% of 5th graders and 15% of 8th graders meeting state standards—reading performance offers some bright spots. In 5th grade, 52% of students were proficient in reading, close to the state average, and 8th graders actually exceeded the state average at 62%. The school also demonstrates strong results for its special education students, who ranked in the 47th percentile statewide—a remarkable improvement from the previous year. When compared to nearby options, Trinity Basin outperforms Sycamore Elementary (Crowley ISD) in several grade-level reading scores, despite both schools serving similar demographics.

For parents considering this school, it's important to know that math instruction appears to be a systemic challenge requiring attention, while literacy programs show promise. The school's unique grade span through 7th grade offers continuity that many nearby elementary schools (like Greenbriar Elementary or Woodway Elementary) do not provide. The Trinity Basin Preparatory district ranks in the bottom 30% of districts statewide, but the school's recent improvements in special education and reading suggest targeted interventions may be gaining traction. Families should weigh these mixed results against other local charters like Texas School Of The Arts (48th percentile) or Harmony Science Academy- Fort Worth (50th percentile) when making their decision.
