William B. Travis Elementary School is a public elementary school in the Woodland Heights area of Houston, Texas. It is a part of the Houston Independent School District (HISD).

It was one of the first HISD schools to have a garden, as well as an outdoor classroom.[1] The garden was established after a teacher received a grant from a national gardening organization.

In addition to Woodland Heights, it serves sections of Norhill south of 11th Street.[2][3][4]
