“I attend LASA and it was one of the smartest choices I have ever made. I found all the people to be inviting and friendly. There was none of the peer pressure and bad influences that comes with other schools, as all students are there because they want to excel and learn. This makes it an easy environment to learn. All teachers are there because they want their kids to excel, and therefore they throw all of their effort and time into making this happen. I highly recommend it.”

“I go to LASA and I really enjoy it. I attended a private school for a few years, and have to say, LASA is on a whole other level. Not only do you get a better education than at a private school, but you are also immersed in a less judgmental, friendlier social atmosphere. We are not all just bookworms either. We regularly compete (and often win!) in athletic and extra curricular competitions.”

“LASA is an exceptional school--great teachers, bright & motivated students, challenging academic classes, huge selection of extra-curricular sports & clubs, and an excellent reputation with college recruiters. One of my other children graduated from Austin High School, and the academic rigor at LASA far exceeds that at Austin, and there is no 'zip code' snobbery or 'party school' atmosphere that exists at Austin. This is a private school education for free, folks. The location is not central, but it's worth the trip.”

“Academics at this school are top-notch, so it also attracts the brightest and most ambitious students. This makes the student body much more competitive than those found at other schools. Students who might have been in the top 5% at their home schools are suddenly fighting to be in the top 50%. Admission at schools like UT Austin (which automatically accepts the top 10% students at each school) becomes difficult, even for the most overqualified students, simply because they are not in the top 10%, in this much more competitive pool.”

“Many courses are challenging, with teachers that are excited about their subject matter. In addition, a very goodsocial environment - alcohol and drugs aren't cool. Individualism is really promoted. Great ACTIVE group of parents.”

“LASA provides the best high school experience in Austin -- outstanding academics, motivated students, experienced and talented faculty, and lots of extracurricular activities such as competitive 4A sports with LBJ High, fine arts, and clubs for every interest. After paying private school tuition in grades K-8, I have to pinch myself to belive my teen is receiving this quality, magnet school education for free. You owe it to yourself to visit and talk with LASA parents.”

“Lasa might just be the best school in the Austin area since it was a magnet program now a school of its own”
