William B. Travis High School opened in 1953 as Austin’s first high school south of the Colorado River, and it was one of Austin’s first early college high schools. It is now being fully rebuilt under the 2022 bond, a $252.2 million modernization built in phases on the current site, with the final phase expected for the 2028-29 school year. In 2025-26, Travis enrolled 917 students, with 81.1% economically disadvantaged, 53.3% emergent bilingual and 20.5% receiving special education services, according to TEA. Under the 2026-27 budget, Travis moved to Austin ISD’s standard transportation policy, which provides bus service only to students living more than two miles away. GreatSchools and TEA measure different things. GreatSchools weighs test results against schools with similar student populations, while TEA’s rating, below, is the state’s official accountability measure.
Academic Performance: Texas Education Agency Accountability Rating
In TEA’s 2025-26 accountability ratings, released in August 2026, Travis Early College High School earned an overall D with a score of 66. That is down 4 points from a C (70) in 2024-25. Travis was a B (83) in 2021-22 and then a C for three straight years, scoring 72 in 2022-23 and 70 in both 2023-24 and 2024-25.
- Overall TEA Rating (2025-26): D (66)
- Student Achievement: D, 63 out of 100 (based on STAAR performance, college, career and military readiness, and graduation rate)
- School Progress: D, 67 out of 100 (Academic Growth D/60, Relative Performance D/67)
- Closing the Gaps: D, 62 out of 100
- Prior Overall Ratings: B (83) in 2021-22, C (72) in 2022-23, C (70) in 2023-24, C (70) in 2024-25
- Austin ISD (2025-26): B (81) district-wide
Under TEA’s scale, an A reflects exemplary performance, B is recognized, C is acceptable, D needs improvement, and F is unacceptable. For high schools, Student Achievement combines STAAR results with college, career and military readiness (CCMR) and graduation rates. Travis’s Student Achievement fell from a C (75) to a D (63) in 2025-26, and the clearest driver was CCMR, which dropped from 90 to 67 after scores of 96 in 2022-23 and 91 in 2023-24. School Progress slipped from a C (72) to a D (67); Relative Performance, which compares results with schools serving similar shares of economically disadvantaged students, was 67, while Academic Growth improved to 60 after three years in the low 50s. Closing the Gaps, which measures results for student groups, rose from an F (58) to a D (62). Travis earned ELA/Reading and Postsecondary Readiness distinctions in 2021-22 and none since. For 2025-26, TEA identified the campus for comprehensive support and improvement, and Austin ISD lists Travis among the campuses developing a Turnaround Plan in fall 2026, with community meetings on September 17 and October 1, 2026, ahead of a November 2026 board vote.
