  • this school has an exceptional athletic program and i have been a part of it since my freshmen year.
    the educational standards i would say aren't the best though they are up to par with the schools around Austin.. the best thing about Travis is the students improving behavior though i must admit i have been to better schools, but i have not been to any school where the people are so accepting of different types of people and cultures.. if you go to this school, no matter what color you are or where your from, you will feel welcome
