we transferred in from far south austin. i am sooo pleased with the experience my child is getting. the small school, the intimate environment, the strong involvement of parents, and the willingness of the teaching staff and administrators to incorporate their assistance has made me feel 100% sure of the decision i made to send my child here.
We are finishing our first year here and it's been a mixed experience. The year started out good, but it's been an eye opener these past months. If you go here and want your kids to have a good experience you're going to have to work for it. It's a big school. Twice is demanded of every parent with a child at THE and that's still not enough. I don't appreciate the looks from parents when I can't be there everyday or the air of entitlement because some are there more than others. Some people at the school forget that some of us have to work and still earn a living and they take their frustration out in negative ways that don't help the kids.
Travis Heights has so many qualities that make it one of the top schools in the city as far as I'm concerned. This school is located in the heart of Austin near Congress Avenue. The student body reflects the city's population with a mixture of culture and economic backgrounds. The energy within the school is so positive. The teachers and staff are vested and take pride in their students. Because of the diverse population, teachers are challenged with keeping curriculum engaging. It's not a school where regurgitaing information from a text book is the norm. If you haven't visited the school, try a Friday morning assembly where the 'Thunderbird' band cranks up and rocks the students with the school song. It's truly an experience!
