GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

One my best experience being there was a state trip I went on for HOSA. It was an amazing experience to go on by having new connections and preparing me for college and my major. One think I would like to see change in is better resources for the kids with intellectual disabilities by finding new ways to have them socialize more with the actual student body instead of being isolated to just one hallway.

The best part of my experience in William B. Travis High School is the school pride and the teachers here. The worst part of William B. Travis High School is the cafeteria food because sometimes it's 5 stars but other times it looks, feels, and tastes like crap.

My best experiences during high school was when everyone would always group up during school events and get excited. The atmosphere and school spirit was amazing and it always made me feel at home. The worst part constantly having to manage my schedules based on the difficult classes I was taking.
