As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote This high school is awesome,amazing;
Despite all the bad reviews some students have given it in the past,
I for one have attended it four years,I must it admit their were some
bumps along the way thing do seem to work them self out"
This school has come a long way since 2008 when it first stared & sure,
Travis Students should always be on campus grounds not roaming around!
like all other school there will always be a turn over of principals &
counselor,administrative staff that's to be expect it.
the students reasonable to maintain their registration,information
their tools as well. Close Quote

Open Quote This school is like nothing else in saisd. here we are offered the most for the talents that we have rather than in a traditional school. i'd rather be two years ahead of the rest of the 2012 class than have the traditional school setting. overall this school is ahead of every other school for only being up for 3 years.

Open Quote Despite all of the hype that is available, this school is not all that it's cracked up to be. The school is going on it's fourth year and, being with the school the entire time, I can honestly say that there are too many problems. For starters, each new class that is being accepted seems to be going through a less strenuous selection than the prior. Because of the lower classes the students of Travis have already been banned from several local shops, reprimanded by the college, and even kicked out of San Pedro Park! And while the teachers are fantastic, the administrative staff is lacking. (We are on principal AND counselor number three already). Several times when I have personally gone to ask for help, they have been too busy to even acknowledge a concern about my registered courses at SAC - or, even worse, I have found out about my classes the day of (or after) their actual start time. Generally the students are kept totally in the dark until very last minute, about everything from text books to locations and it is just very befuddling. Now, I know that this is a fairly new school and that there will be kinks to work through; but Travis ECHS is already hitting quite a few bumps. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
