Summary:
The Odem-Edroy Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two elementary schools, Odem Elementary and Odem Intermediate, both serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. These schools serve a predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population, with over 71% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
While Odem Intermediate has shown improvement in its statewide ranking over the past few years, moving from 3945th out of 4581 Texas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 2343rd out of 4675 in 2023-2024, both schools still face significant challenges. Their STAAR test scores are generally below the state averages, particularly in mathematics and science, indicating a need for a closer examination of the curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems in place to help students succeed academically.
The difference in per-student spending between the two schools, with Odem Intermediate spending $1,368 more per student than Odem Elementary, is noteworthy and may be an area to explore further to understand the reasons behind this gap and how the additional resources are being utilized. Overall, the data suggests that the Odem-Edroy Independent School District (Isd) faces unique challenges in supporting the academic success of its predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population.
