(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Travis Middle School is an astonishing school I have ever went.At first I heard awful rumors about this school but when I first step in there with my thoughts of education.I felt so proud of myself and excellent in this fantastic school.I'm ready to be college bound and you know what Travis says?.."After high school comes college." and that is a fact.I am so grateful to be a 6 grade Texan!
