Summary

University Of Texas At Austin High School is a unique, standalone charter high school in Austin, TX, serving 1,056 students in grades 9-12 and operating as its own district, University Of Texas At Austin High School.

This school presents a striking paradox. On one hand, its students who take state tests perform very well, with proficiency rates in Biology (75.5%) and English (over 73%) that match top-performing nearby schools like McCallum High School and Austin High School. However, the school has a severe graduation crisis. Its graduation rate is just 52.6%, and its dropout rate is 8.4%—over ten times higher than McCallum (0.6%) and Austin High (0.7%). This suggests a major "leaky pipeline" where many students do not finish. A key bottleneck appears to be Algebra I, where only 25% of students are proficient, which is far below the state average and a common barrier to graduation.

Several factors likely contribute to these challenges. The school has an extremely high student-to-teacher ratio of 37.6:1, more than double that of nearby comprehensive high schools, meaning students get far less individual attention. While the school performs well with English Language Learners and Special Education students, it struggles to support its economically disadvantaged students (ranking in the 56th percentile) and, surprisingly, its Gifted and Talented students (ranking in the 13th percentile). This is a stark contrast to Eastside Early College High School, a high-poverty school that, despite lower test scores, still graduates 73.9% of its students—far better than UT Austin High's 52.6%. The school's overall state ranking has also dropped from the 99th percentile to the 74th percentile over the last five years, a concerning downward trend.
