School Overview

Graduation Prep Academy (GPA) Lanier, located on the campus of Lanier High School (now known as Navarro Early College High School) in Austin, Texas, is an alternative education program designed to help students earn their high school diplomas. The academy serves students who have faced academic setbacks or life challenges that put them at risk of dropping out. By providing a more flexible, individualized learning environment, the program allows students to recover missing credits and accelerate their progress toward graduation in a setting that is often smaller and more personalized than a traditional high school experience.

The program functions as a critical support system within the Austin Independent School District, focusing on credit recovery and personalized academic planning. Because it is co-located with a main high school campus, students benefit from the resources and extracurricular opportunities of a larger school while receiving the targeted instructional support necessary to meet state graduation requirements. Ultimately, Graduation Prep Academy Lanier aims to remove obstacles for its students, providing a second chance to build the academic foundation required for post-secondary success.
