Summary

Cameron Dual Language Magnet in Odessa, TX, is an elementary school serving 644 students in pre-kindergarten through 6th grade within the Ector County Independent School District (Isd), and it has achieved a remarkable turnaround from a low-performing school to a solidly average-to-above-average institution.

This school stands out for its exceptional upper-grade performance, particularly in 6th grade, where students achieved 76% proficiency in Reading and 70% in Mathematics—dramatically higher than district averages. Cameron consistently outperforms the district in most subjects and grades, a stark contrast to nearby schools like El Magnet At Blackshear or Noel Elementary, which often fall below district averages. The dual language program is particularly effective for low-income and English-learning students, with the school ranking in the 77th percentile for low socio-economic status students and the 71st percentile for English Language Learners. However, the school struggles with its Gifted and Talented population, ranking in the 13th percentile statewide, suggesting the curriculum may not be adequately challenging for its highest-achieving students.

While Cameron excels in Reading and Math, Science is a consistent weak point, with only 25% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025, below the state average. The dual language program shows mixed results in Spanish, with strong reading scores but weak math scores in Spanish. Compared to other magnets like Austin Montessori Magnet (similar overall rank but weaker math) and Gale Pond Alamo Elementary (lower poverty rate and smaller class sizes), Cameron’s success is specific to its dual-language model. The school’s dramatic climb from the 16th percentile in 2016 to its current stable ranking in the 51st to 69th percentile range is a testament to effective leadership and program implementation.
