Summary:
The Trinity Basin Preparatory district in Texas operates three public charter elementary schools serving grades PK-8. These schools, while facing challenges common to many high-poverty districts, demonstrate some standout academic strengths that set them apart.
The Trinity Basin Preparatory campus in Fort Worth has the highest percentage of Asian students at 5.51%, while the Trinity Basin Preparatory school in Mesquite boasts the district's best 3rd grade reading proficiency at 58%. Meanwhile, the Trinity Basin Preparatory Inc campus in Dallas leads in 8th grade math proficiency at 51%. These pockets of excellence suggest potential best practices that could be shared across the district.
However, the Trinity Basin Preparatory schools face significant hurdles, with 86-92% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch and all three campuses ranking in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools. Dropout rates are low, but student-teacher ratios are high, and per-student spending varies widely. By analyzing these data points, district leaders can work to provide the targeted resources and support needed to help all students in this high-need community succeed academically.
