Odem Intermediate

Summary:

Odem Intermediate is a 3rd-5th grade elementary school in the Odem-Edroy Independent School District, serving a predominantly Hispanic student population of 197. Despite its relatively small size and low student-teacher ratio, the school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools.

Odem Intermediate's academic performance is a significant concern, with STAAR test scores well below state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 32.2% of 3rd graders were proficient in math, compared to the state average of 40.86%. The school also struggles to effectively serve its high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 71-72% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. Compared to nearby schools like Tuloso-Midway Intermediate and Sinton Elementary, which have higher test scores and ratings, Odem Intermediate's performance lags behind.

The school's declining ranking, from 1,785 out of 4,320 Texas elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 2,343 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes, particularly for vulnerable subgroups like special education and at-risk students. With its unique demographic challenges, Odem Intermediate faces significant hurdles in providing a high-quality education to its community.

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.
