🏛️ Your state's public flagship
The University of Texas at Austin
The in-state tuition gap is the flagship's biggest draw — most in-state families pay far less than the out-of-state sticker. Average net price after aid runs about $19,857/yr. Admission odds depend on your student's GPA and test scores, not which high school they attend.

💰 Pay for college in Texas
Texas's public scholarships
Texas families have two big levers: a guaranteed-admission rule for the top of each graduating class, and the need-based TEXAS Grant that pairs with it. Class rank does more here than almost anywhere.
Graduate in the top 10% of your Texas public-HS class and finish the required curriculum for automatic admission to TX public universities (UT Austin caps at the top 5%). (Must finish the required college-prep curriculum (Distinguished plan).)
Official program details ↗Texas's flagship need-based grant — no GPA gate to qualify (a 3.0 or top-third rank just gives priority when funds run short). (Enroll within 16 months of HS, ≥¾ time, in a bachelor's program.)
Official program details ↗Graduate at least a semester early with the Distinguished plan plus a 3.0 GPA and an 80th-percentile test (or top-10% rank) for a TEXAS Grant-sized scholarship. (Graduate at least a semester early with the Distinguished plan.)

🎓 Graduation & Attendance
Does this school get students to the finish line — and keep them in the building?
Two things every family wants to know: do students graduate on time, and do they show up. These are TEA's official campus figures.
Source: Texas Education Agency, Texas Academic Performance Report (TAPR), 2024-25, All Students. Graduation = 4-year longitudinal rate (Class of 2024); attendance & dropout = SY2023-24. TEA masks small-group results for privacy.
🎯 College & Career Readiness
How ready are this school's graduates for what comes next?
Beyond graduating, are students prepared — for college, a career, or the military? These are TEA's official readiness measures for the most recent graduating class.
What counts as CCMR-ready? →
Under TEA's accountability system, a graduate counts as College/Career/Military Ready by meeting any one of: a qualifying SAT/ACT or TSI score; AP/IB exam scores of 3+; college dual-credit with a C or better; an associate's degree; an industry-based certification; an OnRamps course; military enlistment; or an aligned career-prep program. It rolls "is this graduate prepared for what's next?" into one comparable number — which is why a school can post a high CCMR even when its average SAT is modest (strong career, military, and dual-credit pathways count too).
Source: Texas Education Agency, Texas Academic Performance Report (TAPR), 2024-25, All Students. CCMR / SAT-ACT / AP-IB = Class of 2024 graduates; dual-credit = grades 9-12. School SAT/ACT averages are campus means, not the scores of admitted college applicants. TEA masks small-group results for privacy.
Chronic absenteeism
Why this matters to enrollment: Chronic absence is the most reliable early indicator that a student will leave a school — either by transferring out, dropping out, or matriculating to a charter or private alternative. At this level, today's absentees become next year's enrollment loss and the year-after's revenue loss.

Enrollment trend & projection
Total enrollment + grade 12, NCES Common Core of Data (2021–2024).
If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of -10.9%/year, projecting from 2024's 6 students:
A small or specialty program — naive trend math doesn't capture the school's full picture. Read the trend as directional, not predictive.
An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
