Summary

Travis Early College High School in Austin, TX, is a large comprehensive high school serving over 1,000 students in grades 9-12 within the Austin Independent School District (Isd), and it faces significant academic challenges despite its "Early College" designation. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas high schools, earning a 0-star rating, and its performance has been declining over the past decade. For example, in 2025-2026, only 13% of students passed the English I Reading STAAR test, compared to 76% at nearby Austin High School and 96% at Richards School For Young Women Leaders. Similarly, Algebra I proficiency was just 15% at Travis, versus 39% at Austin High and 73% at Richards School.

The school's graduation rate has also taken a troubling turn, dropping from a high of 96.9% in 2021-2022 to just 79.1% in 2023-2024—well below the district average of 90.2% and far behind the 93.2% and 98.9% rates at Austin High and Richards School, respectively. At the same time, Travis's dropout rate has surged to 9.4%, which is nearly five times the district average and over 13 times the rate at Austin High. These metrics highlight a systemic crisis that is worsening over time, even as the school spends more per student (~$12,500) than higher-performing peers like Austin High (~$9,700) and Richards School (~$10,200).

Interestingly, the "Early College" label does not reflect the school's overall academic culture, as performance is more indicative of challenges related to student preparedness and economic disadvantage, with over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. Even the school's Gifted and Talented students perform in the 1st percentile statewide, suggesting that high-achieving students are not being adequately supported. For parents exploring options, nearby schools like KIPP Austin Brave or Idea Montopolis College Preparatory may offer stronger academic outcomes, though they also serve high-poverty populations. The stark contrasts within a small geographic area—from Travis's 0-star rating to Richards School's 5-star rating—underscore how school performance can vary dramatically even within the same district.
