Summary

Odom Elementary is a PK-5 school in Austin, TX, serving 286 students within the Austin Independent School District (Isd), and it currently ranks in the 7th percentile statewide—its lowest point in a decade of steady decline. The school serves a high-poverty community, with 86% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and its academic performance has dropped significantly from a 47th-percentile ranking in 2016-2017 to a 0-star rating today. This places Odom as the lowest-performing school in its immediate cluster, starkly contrasting with nearby Sunset Valley Elementary, which ranks in the 91st percentile despite being just 1.84 miles away.

One interesting finding is that Odom’s bilingual program appears to be a relative strength: in 3rd-grade Reading, proficiency in Spanish (42.86%) actually exceeded English proficiency (40.74%), a reversal of typical district and state trends. However, overall test scores remain low—for example, 5th-grade Math proficiency was just 20%, compared to 61% at Sunset Valley. The school also spends more per student ($13,210) than several higher-performing peers, including Sunset Valley ($11,495) and Cunningham Elementary ($13,043), suggesting that funding alone isn’t the issue. Additionally, Odom’s student-teacher ratio of 11.4 is among the lowest in the area, yet outcomes remain poor, indicating a need for specialized interventions like counselors or reading specialists rather than just smaller classes.

Compared to other nearby schools with similar poverty levels, Odom’s decline is more severe. For instance, Galindo Elementary (90% free/reduced lunch) ranks in the 32nd percentile, while Pleasant Hill Elementary (88%) ranks in the 8th percentile. This suggests Odom faces challenges beyond socioeconomic factors. For parents, the key takeaway is that Odom is a school with dedicated resources and a promising bilingual program, but it has struggled to reverse a long-term academic decline, making it important to explore how the school plans to address these gaps.
