Summary

Odessa Career And Technical Early College High School is a small, specialized high school in Odessa, TX, serving 418 students in grades 9-12 within the Ector County Independent School District (Isd).

This school stands out for its exceptional graduation rate, which has been 100% for the last two years, far exceeding the district average of 86.1% and the rates at nearby Permian High School (88.8%) and Odessa High School (79.0%). It is also highly effective at supporting students who often face challenges in larger schools, ranking in the 96th percentile statewide for Special Education students and the 92nd percentile for Low Socioeconomic Status students. Academically, the school excels in Biology (82.5% proficient) and U.S. History (79.1% proficient), though Algebra I proficiency (36.4%) is a notable weakness, falling below the state average. While the school has a strong overall reputation, its state ranking has declined from the 89th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 60th percentile recently, and its Gifted and Talented students rank in the 25th percentile, suggesting the curriculum may not fully challenge its highest achievers.

For parents comparing options, Odessa CTE ECHS is one of several high-performing small schools in the district. Just 1.55 miles away, Odessa Collegiate Academy Early College High School achieves even higher test scores (e.g., 85.7% vs. 36.4% in Algebra I) and a 97th percentile state ranking, while George H W Bush New Technical Odessa also ranks in the 94th percentile. All three specialized schools dramatically outperform the district’s large comprehensive high schools, making the Ector County ISD a unique environment with multiple strong early college and career-focused options.
