Odom Elementary

Summary:

Odom Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 374 students in grades 1-5. The school is part of the Aldine Independent School District, which is ranked 790 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating.

While Odom Elementary generally outperforms the district and state in STAAR test proficiency, particularly in Mathematics, the school faces some significant challenges. It has a much higher Hispanic student population (93.58%) compared to nearby schools, and its performance varies greatly across different student subgroups. The school struggles with lower rankings for male students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Additionally, Odom Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined from 3 stars in 2018-2019 to 1 star in 2020-2021, indicating a concerning trend in the school's overall performance.

Interestingly, Odom Elementary has a higher per-student spending ($12,347 in 2020-2021) compared to the nearby schools, which range from $10,462 to $12,659 per student. However, it lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as North Central Elementary (a public charter school) and Thompson Elementary, which have significantly higher test scores and statewide rankings. Odom Elementary's extremely high percentage of students (over 95%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch also indicates a high-need student population that may require additional resources and support.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
