Liberal Arts and Science Academy, abbreviated as LASA, is a selective public magnet high school in Austin, Texas, United States. The school is open to all Austin residents and charges no tuition. The competition for admission is strong and contingent on the submission of an application, prior academic record and the Cognitive Abilities Test.
The Liberal Arts and Science Academy (LASA) is a four-year comprehensive, public, urban, advanced academic magnet high school of approximately 1300 students in the Austin Independent School District (AISD). The program recruits the most academically advanced students from public and private middle schools in Austin; as such, admission to LASA is competitive, based on test scores, previous accomplishments and teacher recommendations.
