Odom Middle

Summary:

Odom Middle is a public magnet middle school in Beaumont, Texas, serving 709 students in grades 6-8. This diverse school, with a majority of African American and Hispanic students, stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outpacing the Beaumont Independent School District and the state of Texas in STAAR test scores.

Odom Middle's academic excellence is particularly evident in its 7th-grade STAAR Reading proficiency rate of 58.13%, significantly higher than the district's 33.87% and the state's 52.08%. The school also shines in STAAR Algebra I, with an impressive 88.52% of students proficient or better, far surpassing the district's 25.77% and the state's 44.73%. While the school's Asian and White student subgroups perform exceptionally well, the performance of English Language Learners, Special Education, and Gifted and Talented students is an area that warrants attention and targeted support.

Despite Odom Middle's overall academic strengths, the school faces some challenges, including a concerning trend of increasing dropout rates, from 0.4% in 2017-2018 to 3.0% in 2020-2021. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, over 70%, suggests significant socioeconomic disadvantages that may contribute to the lower performance of certain subgroups. When compared to nearby schools, such as Port Neches Middle and Wilson Middle, Odom Middle generally outperforms its peers, but some of these neighboring schools demonstrate stronger overall academic performance and lower dropout rates.

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.
