Over the past few years, Travis Hts Elementary has seen a decline in enrollment and a shift in its racial composition, with a decrease in the percentage of Hispanic students and an increase in the percentage of White and Asian students. The school's performance on STAAR tests also varies significantly across grade levels, with 5th-grade students generally outperforming 3rd and 4th-grade students in both reading and mathematics. When compared to nearby schools, Travis Hts Elementary generally performs better than lower-performing schools like Dawson Elementary, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Becker Elementary. The school's high free/reduced lunch rate, which is a proxy for socioeconomic status, may be a contributing factor to the academic challenges faced by Travis Hts Elementary, along with its relatively high student-teacher ratio.
