Liberal Arts and Science Academy (LASA) is a selective public magnet high school in Austin, Texas, United States.[3][4] Although LASA is open to all Austin residents and charges no tuition, competition for admission can be strong and is contingent on submission of an application, prior academic record, and the Cognitive Abilities Test. LASA is sometimes referred to as LASA High School.
LASA is often ranked as one of the best public schools in Texas, with a ranking of #4 by U.S. News & World Report in 2023.[5]
