Liberal Arts and Science Academy
Liberal Arts and Science Academy (LASA) high school is a selective public magnet high school for students interested in liberal arts, science, and mathematics in the Austin Independent School District. Admission is based on multiple criteria including grades, standardized test scores, essays, teacher recommendations, extracurricular activities, awards earned, and an admissions exam (currently the Cognitive Abilities Test).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LASA Online - Prospective Students )〕 Because LASA is the only co-educational high school academic magnet program in AISD, competition for admission can be strong. 35 out of the 203 students in the LASA Class of 2011 (17.2%) were National Merit Scholars.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LASA Online - School Profile )〕 In 2014, Newsweek ranked LASA #8 among the nation's best high schools,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=America's Best High Schools - The Daily Beast )〕 and ranked the school #38 nationally in 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=America's Best High Schools - The Daily Beast )〕 The Washington Post ranked LASA #30 in the nation in 2011. In 2013 U.S. News and World Report ranked LASA #1 in the state of Texas and #28 nationally.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Best High Schools in the U.S. )〕 In 2014, LASA was ranked the best high school in Texas and the eighth best high school in the nation by Newsweek.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=America's Top Schools 2014 )〕
LASA was designated an Exemplary high school by TEA a year after its opening as a separate high school in August 2007, and has maintained that designation every year since.〔
==History==
The LBJ Science Academy, Austin’s first magnet program, was created in 1985. The Liberal Arts Academy at nearby A.S. Johnston High School (now Eastside Memorial High School) opened in 1987. The two programs were merged in 2002 and became the Liberal Arts and Science Academy (LASA), housed on the LBJ High School campus. For the next five years LASA remained an advanced academic program within LBJ High School until the school board voted in 2007 to make LASA a separate high school.〔〔 Although each school has its own principal, administrative staff, and academic faculty, the two schools share the same campus and have combined fine arts and athletics classes. They are served by the same school newspaper (The Liberator〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Liberator )〕) and publish a shared yearbook (Stetson〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Stetson Yearbook )〕). LBJ and LASA compete in UIL events as one school (as LBJ or "Austin Johnson"). In 2011-2012 the total student enrollment at LASA High School was about 870,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LASA High School, Austin, TX )〕 while that at LBJ was about 1000.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LBJ High School, Austin, TX )〕
