Basis Texas, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Basis Texas

BASIS Texas is a charter district serving kindergarten through grade twelve across multiple campuses in the Austin and San Antonio areas. The district enrolls a substantial population of students, with particularly strong enrollment in the early grades and a much smaller high school footprint.

The enrollment is notably diverse. Just under half of all students identify as Asian. Hispanic students make up roughly a quarter of the enrollment, while white students account for a smaller share. Black students and students of multiple races each represent modest portions. The district does not publicly report free-or-reduced-price-lunch rates or rates of students with individualized education plans and English learners, so the economic and special-population picture remains unclear from available data.

In academic performance, BASIS Texas shows a pronounced pattern: very strong results in English language arts and mathematics across elementary and middle grades, with science proficiency that varies by grade level. In math, students in grades three through five attain proficiency at rates in the low-to-mid range. Proficiency then jumps substantially in grade six, holding strong through grade eight. English language arts performs even more consistently at or above comparable levels from grade three onward. Science, however, shows a notable dip at grade five, where proficiency sits roughly at the midpoint statewide, before recovering strongly by grade eight. Social studies proficiency in grade eight is solid but below the top tier. Across all tested subjects, the district reports that most students meet or exceed proficiency thresholds, with a substantial share reaching the highest performance tiers.

Among Bexar County's school districts, BASIS Texas ranks in the top quartile for overall proficiency when across tested subjects and grades are averaged together. The district also ranks in the top quartile for chronic absenteeism, meaning its students miss school less frequently than the median district in the county. Per-pupil current spending sits in the lower range compared to other county districts, suggesting a leaner operational budget than many peers.

Graduation rate data was not available. High school enrollment is sparse compared to the middle and elementary grades, suggesting either that the district serves primarily lower grades or that relatively few students progress through the high school portion of the district.

The district operates across multiple campus locations. Information about specific instructional programs, course offerings, or distinctive pedagogical approaches was not available. Similarly, information about recent strategic initiatives or policy changes within BASIS Texas specifically was not found; broader state curriculum guidance exists but could not be confirmed to apply distinctly to this district.

A parent considering BASIS Texas would see a district with strong elementary and middle-grade proficiency in core subjects, particularly in English language arts. The dip in science performance at grade five warrants a closer look at how that subject is taught or supported at that level. The much smaller high school enrollment raises questions about pathway options and senior-year offerings that might be worth discussing directly with the district. The lean per-pupil spending and strong attendance metrics suggest an efficiently run system, though families may want to inquire about extracurricular resources and program breadth.
