O'Donnell School

Summary:

O'Donnell School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in the O'Donnell Independent School District, with a student population of 288 as of the 2022-2023 school year and a predominantly Hispanic (64.24%) and White (34.38%) student body.

Despite having a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 67.71% to 70.13% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past 3 years, O'Donnell School has consistently maintained very high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 91.3% to 100% over the past 5 years, significantly higher than the state average and comparing favorably to the nearby Lamesa Schools (97.5% in 2022-2023) and Dawson School (100% in 2021-2022). The school's dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 1.4% over the past 5 years, are also much lower than the state average and the nearby schools, which had dropout rates of 0.2% (Lamesa Independent School District (Isd)) and 0.0% (Dawson Independent School District (Isd)) in recent years.

While O'Donnell School's STAAR test scores are generally lower than the state averages, they are often higher than the nearby Lamesa Schools and Dawson School, and the school spends more per student ($15,362 in 2020-2021) compared to the nearby schools ($12,262 in 2020-2021 for Lamesa Schools and $13,325 in 2020-2021 for Dawson School), which may contribute to its strong performance in areas like graduation and dropout rates, as well as its relatively higher academic achievement compared to its immediate peers.

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.
