# TRAVIS CO J J A E P
This school is now inactive. It was an alternative middle school operated by Lake Travis ISD, located in the northwest part of Austin near Ranch Road 620. Because the school is no longer in operation, enrollment data, test results, graduation rates, and current program details are not available.
The school's closure reflects broader shifts within Lake Travis ISD, a district that has experienced significant planning changes in recent years. The district has faced operating budget pressures from declining property values and flat state funding, requiring spending cuts and postponement of some planned facilities. At the same time, the district approved two major bonds to expand capacity, with a second high school now targeted to open in 2028 rather than 2027, and boundary rezoning now planned for spring 2026. These transitions affect where students will attend school and which campuses serve which neighborhoods across the district's service area.
The Austin area itself is one of the fastest-growing large metros in the country, with rapid residential and commercial development, though growth has moderated from its peak. Housing values in the zip code where this school was located are substantially above state and national benchmarks, reflecting Austin's competitive real estate market. The city is anchored by state government, the University of Texas, and major tech employers including Dell, Apple, Amazon, and Oracle, creating a strong but volatile economic base.
For families seeking middle school options in Lake Travis ISD, the district's current operational schools and any magnet or specialized programs they offer would be the places to explore. The district's website and administrators can explain available pathways, given the ongoing transitions in school boundaries and facility openings.
