Basis Pflugerville, Pflugerville TX

Original Research by School Decision on Basis Pflugerville

BASIS Pflugerville is a charter middle school serving grades six through nine in Pflugerville, Texas. The school enrolls a small to mid-sized cohort of students, with a notably concentrated demographic: most students are Asian, reflecting both the school's location in a diverse suburb of Austin and the typical student population drawn to BASIS's curriculum model.

The school's academic results show particular strength at the eighth-grade level. In eighth-grade mathematics, proficiency rates reach a very high mark. Eighth-grade English language arts proficiency is similarly strong, with nearly all students meeting or exceeding state standards. Science proficiency in eighth grade stands at a solid level, and social studies approaches the standard at a healthy rate, though fewer students master that subject. Sixth and seventh grades show more variability. Sixth-graders demonstrate strong performance in both math and ELA, but seventh-grade mathematics proficiency drops noticeably below the pattern seen in other grades, a meaningful dip worth watching. Seventh-grade ELA remains strong, however.

When proficiency rates are aggregated across all grades and subjects, BASIS Pflugerville scores well above the median among the districts in Travis County, placing it in the top quartile on overall proficiency. This positions it among the stronger-performing schools in its county peer set.

The school's curriculum reflects the BASIS charter model: a college-preparatory program with emphasis on breadth across core subjects. State assessment data measure English language arts, mathematics, and science directly. The school tests students in all three, plus social studies at eighth grade. No information was available about specialized programs, career pathways, dual-credit offerings, advanced coursework, or extracurricular options, so a parent interested in those details should contact the school directly.

Attendance and discipline data were not available. Graduation rate information does not apply, as the school serves only middle grades and the ninth-grade cohort is tiny. Data on free or reduced-price lunch eligibility, special education enrollment, and English learner enrollment were also absent from the available records.

The housing market in the Pflugerville zip code runs moderately above the Texas state benchmark for home values, with rental costs somewhat elevated as well. The broader economic context shows moderate unemployment and elevated mortgage rates, typical of the current national environment. A parent considering this school might want to look into transportation options and whether any lottery or enrollment requirements apply to admission, as BASIS schools typically operate under different enrollment procedures than traditional public schools.

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.
