Best Public Schools in Odessa, WA


Summary:

The city of Odessa, Washington is home to two schools - P.C. Jantz Elementary and Odessa High School, both part of the Odessa School District. While the schools serve different grade levels, they share some notable characteristics that provide a nuanced picture of the educational landscape in this community.

Odessa High School stands out as a strong performer, ranking 123 out of 437 high schools in Washington and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts an impressive 87.5% 4-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, suggesting it is effectively supporting its students' academic success. In contrast, P.C. Jantz Elementary has more mixed results, with proficiency rates below the state average in many subjects and grade levels. However, the elementary school's diverse student population, with 11.29% Hispanic students and 4.03% students of two or more races, is noteworthy in a state where the average public school student population is 45.2% white.

Both schools serve a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch - 53.23% at P.C. Jantz Elementary and 56.25% at Odessa High School. This suggests the Odessa School District may need to address equity concerns to ensure all students have access to the resources and support they need to succeed. Additionally, while Odessa High School has maintained a strong performance over time, the mixed test score results at both schools indicate room for improvement in academic achievement, particularly in math and science.
