Original Research by School Decision on Basis San Antonio- Pri North Central Campus

BASIS San Antonio Primary North Central Campus is a charter school serving kindergarten through fifth grade in San Antonio, located on Ramsey Road in the north-central part of the city. It is part of the BASIS Texas charter network.

The school enrolls a population of roughly mid-sized elementary enrollment across its grade band. The student body is substantially diverse, with Latino students forming the largest group, followed by Asian students, White students, Black students, and smaller numbers of other backgrounds. Free-or-reduced-price lunch eligibility data was not available for this school.

In mathematics, the school shows a clear upward trajectory across grades. Third-grade students achieved a level just above half proficient or above on state assessments, while fourth grade moved to a solid majority, and fifth grade reached a notably stronger proficiency level. In English language arts, performance is notably higher and more consistent. Third and fifth grades both meet or exceed four-fifths proficiency, while fourth grade reaches an even stronger level. Science proficiency, tested only at fifth grade, sits at roughly one-third of students meeting or above the threshold, which is considerably below the reading and mathematics performance and may warrant parent inquiry about how the school approaches science instruction at the elementary level.

Across all tested subjects, the school reports that the vast majority of students at least approach grade-level standards. About one-third of students master those standards across subjects, and roughly two-thirds meet or exceed them. In ELA specifically, mastery rates are somewhat higher; in math and science, mastery is less frequent.

When compared to other districts in Bexar County, BASIS San Antonio Primary North Central Campus ranks in the top quartile overall for proficiency across tested subjects and grades. This positions the school notably above the median performance level of its county peer districts.

Kindergarten through fifth grade means state assessment data is limited to grades three through five, the only grades tested under Texas state assessments. No graduation rate applies to this school, as it does not serve high school grades. Special education and English learner data were not available.

The school is situated in San Antonio, a rapidly growing city with substantial economic diversity anchored by healthcare, military, finance, and increasingly technology and cybersecurity sectors. The immediate area around the school's north-central location serves neighborhoods with a mix of established and developing residential character. Housing values in the school's zip code have declined modestly in recent years, and rents likewise show slight recent decline. The broader San Antonio metro has been among the fastest-growing in the nation, with substantial residential development particularly in outer suburban areas and notable growth in downtown and inner neighborhoods as well.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
