This Is How Far Travis Scott Actually Got In School

May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

Born Jacques Webster II, Travis Scott bounced between South Park, Houston, and Missouri City, a suburban enclave in Texas. "I used to stay with my grandma in the hood from ages one to six. My mom worked for Apple and my dad owned his own business. I lived in [Houston] most of my life until I was like 19," the rapper told Complex in 2012.

On school, he revealed he "went to private school in elementary and middle school, but then I went to public school in high school, man," adding that he "loved private school. It was like the freshest b*****s and all my homies were rich as f**k." The experience was certainly eye-opening for Scott, as it "showed me a whole other taste level of life" and learned that "s**t is way bigger than Houston."

The rapper "graduated early from high school" at 17, calling himself a "smart man" and "not a dumb**s." He would go on to attend the University of Texas, telling Complex in 2015 he "thought I wanted to do international business," but ultimately dropped out. Scott would use the money his mom provided him for school supplies on music equipment and jetting between New York and Los Angeles, where he would network with top industry executives and producers, per Rolling Stone.
