Summary

Odom Elementary in Houston, TX, is a 1st-5th grade campus in the Aldine Independent School District (Isd) serving 322 students, with over 92% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. This school is on a strong upward trajectory, jumping from the 37th percentile statewide to the 50th percentile in the most recent data—its highest rank in six years. A key driver of this success is its exceptional bilingual program, where Spanish-language STAAR scores significantly outperform both district and state averages across nearly every grade and subject, such as 5th grade math where 70.59% of students were proficient compared to just 22.32% statewide.

Odom is particularly effective at serving its low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking in the 69th percentile statewide for this group, which is much higher than its overall rank. This shows the school adds significant value for its economically disadvantaged students. The school also benefits from a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.9:1, which is smaller than nearby schools like Marcella Elementary (14.6:1) and Bussey Elementary (14.4:1), allowing for more targeted instruction. While Odom’s recent improvement is dramatic, it still trails the clear academic leader in the area, Thompson Elementary, which consistently ranks in the 71st-75th percentile. However, Odom’s 5th-grade English reading and math scores are now very close to Thompson’s, showing its upper-grade instruction is becoming highly competitive.

Compared to the nearby charter school North Central Elementary (part of Yes Prep Public Schools Inc), which serves a similar demographic but with a higher student-teacher ratio of 17.3:1, Odom’s Spanish-language scores are significantly higher. This suggests Odom’s bilingual model is a more effective approach for its Spanish-speaking students. The school does face a challenge with its Special Education students, who rank in the 30th percentile, indicating a need for dedicated review. Overall, Odom is a school on the rise with a clear strength in its bilingual program, and if it can replicate this success in English-language classrooms, it has the potential to become a top performer in the district.
