Summary

Murry Fly Elementary is a public elementary school in Odessa, Texas, serving 1,089 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Ector County Independent School District. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools over the past decade, maintaining a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of that time.

Murry Fly Elementary faces significant challenges in student achievement, with consistently lower STAAR test proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages, particularly in reading, math, and STAAR Spanish assessments. The school has a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, over 80%, as well as a large population of English Language Learners. In contrast, nearby schools like San Jacinto Elementary, Cameron Dual Language Magnet, and Noel Elementary generally outperform Murry Fly on standardized tests and have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students.

Murry Fly Elementary's performance has remained stagnant or declined slightly over the past several years, with no significant improvements in test scores or rankings. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and English Language Learners suggest the need for targeted interventions and additional support to improve student outcomes and close the achievement gap with nearby schools.
