Summary

El Magnet At Milam Elementary is a public magnet elementary school serving 605 students in grades PK-5 in Odessa, Texas, which is part of the Ector County Independent School District. The school generally outperforms the district and state in academic performance, with 53.25% of 3rd graders proficient or better in STAAR Reading compared to 41.82% for the district and 52.02% for Texas.

El Magnet At Milam Elementary has seen its statewide ranking improve over the years, moving from the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools in 2014-2015 to the top 42% in 2024-2025. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with male and White students tending to perform better than their female and Hispanic counterparts. The school also spends more per student ($9,318 in 2020-2021) compared to the district average, which could be a contributing factor to its academic performance.

The El Magnet At Zavala and El Magnet At Travis schools, which are located in close proximity to El Magnet At Milam Elementary, have more mixed results, with both ranking in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools. This suggests the quality of magnet programs can vary within the same district, and there may be opportunities for collaboration to improve education across the region.
