Summary

William B Travis High School in Richmond, TX, is a large, 4-star high school serving 3,114 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Fort Bend Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out for its exceptional graduation rate of 97.4% and an extremely low dropout rate of just 0.8%.

This school consistently outperforms its district peers in core subjects like Biology, English, and U.S. History, with proficiency rates well above both the district and state averages. For example, 87% of Travis students were proficient in Biology compared to 79% in the district. However, there is a notable weakness in Algebra I, where only 55.6% of students were proficient, below the district average and a persistent challenge. Compared to nearby schools, Travis is an academic leader alongside Stephen F Austin High School, while George Bush High School and Kempner High School have lower state rankings. Interestingly, the nearby Kerr High School in the Alief Independent School District (Isd) is a 5-star school with near-perfect test scores, but it is likely a specialized magnet school, making it a unique option rather than a direct comparison.

Travis High School also achieves its strong results with lower per-student spending ($8,464) than its lower-performing district peers, suggesting efficient resource use. The school is particularly effective at supporting Special Education and low-income students, who rank in the 86th and 83rd percentiles statewide, respectively. With a consistent 4-star rating for the last decade, Travis is a reliably high-performing institution, though its Algebra I performance remains a key area for improvement.
