Lake Travis High School is a public high school located in unincorporated Travis County, Texas, United States, approximately 20 miles (32 km) west of Austin, near Lake Travis. The preparatory is accredited by the Texas Education Agency and rated as an exemplary secondary by TEA standards.[2] LTHS serves students in grades nine through twelve who live in southwest Travis County and is part of the Lake Travis Independent School District.
LTHS and LTISD were both established in 1981 after splitting from the Dripping Springs Independent School District.[3] The current high school was built in 1988.[citation needed] Because of major growth in the Austin Metropolitan Area, the high school has undergone several expansion projects. Due to the increase in student population, LTHS was reclassified in 2012 as a member of the UIL 5A conference. LTHS was again reclassified in 2014 when Texas added a 6A classification.
As the only high school in LTISD, it serves Bee Cave, Briarcliff, Lakeway, The Hills, and Hudson Bend,[4] along with 1.4 square miles (3.6 km2) of land within the City of Austin.[5]
