I and many of my academically successful and creative friends voluntarily transferred to Garza from [another Austin high school] because it gave its students the freedom and tools they needed to build their own success. At Garza you learn an unprecedented amount of self-agency and critical-thinking skills, all within an understanding and supportive environment. I can say this school is the reason I graduated at all. At Garza not only are the staff genuinely caring, but the student body is as well. I can't recommend this school enough. - Marcie, Garza Graduate
