Founded in 1939, Travis Heights Elementary is a public charter school on Alameda Drive in the historic Travis Heights neighborhood. The school serves a little more than 500 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade. Travis Heights offers students greater autonomy than traditional campus models often allow, giving teachers the flexibility to tailor lesson plans to students’ specific needs.
Through their dual-language program, young Thunderbird scholars are offered the opportunity to learn subjects in both English and Spanish. Gifted programs are also available for advanced learners, and the school provides a rich fine arts and music curriculum to nurture young, creative minds.
Recognizing the prevalence of digital resources in children’s lives, the faculty integrates technology into the curriculum across the campus. Students can apply for Tech Team, where they can develop leadership skills and technological expertise to support the school. There’s also Primetime, a free after-school program that offers coding, dance, cooking and science classes.
Staying active is also a top priority at Travis Heights Elementary. Its Outdoor School at Camp Champions allows students to go on camping excursions with their classmates, teachers and chaperones. Marathon Kids is another club that promotes fitness and healthy habits through regular physical activity, sports and service.
At Travis Heights Elementary School, students and teachers are given the freedom and resources they need to build a strong community that is excelling toward a bright future in learning.

This school has been great for my 2 kids. Great parents community. This is an in-district charter school within Austin Independent School District, so they have more freedom to try advanced teaching methodologies. I recommend this school.

The school is very community-based. Lots of parental involvement, great teachers, active PTA. I highly recommend -- I have twin daughters there, and occasionally substitute teach and am the PTA treasurer.
