Summary

Ector College Prep Success Academy is a middle school in Odessa, TX, serving 1,272 students in grades 6-8 within the Ector County Independent School District (Isd), where over 85% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most striking feature of this school is its "Algebra I Paradox." While general math scores are low—only 34.44% of 8th graders were proficient in 2025-2026—the school’s Algebra I End-of-Course exam results are world-class, with 95.7% of students scoring proficient that same year. This far exceeds the district average of 40.58% and even outperforms the highest-ranked nearby school, Wilson & Young Medal Of Honor Middle, which scored 97.22% in Algebra I but had much higher general math scores (48.56%). This suggests Ector has an exceptionally effective advanced math program, even as the majority of its students struggle with grade-level math. However, the school shows extreme volatility in performance, with its overall state rank swinging from the 44th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 13th percentile in 2025-2026—a pattern not seen in more stable peers like Nimitz Middle.

Despite low test scores, the school has a lower dropout rate than the district average (1.0% vs. 2.0% in 2023-2024), indicating it keeps students engaged. Compared to its closest peer, Crockett Middle, Ector performs slightly better in core subjects like 8th-grade math (34.44% vs. 31.55%). However, the school spends significantly less per student ($8,789) than nearby schools like Bonham Middle ($13,173), which may limit support for vulnerable populations. The nearby charter Idea Yukon College Preparatory (74th percentile) offers a higher-performing alternative for families with means, potentially concentrating challenges at Ector.
