Summary

Johanna Odonnell Intermediate in Fabens, TX, serves 434 students in grades 3 through 5 and is part of the Fabens Independent School District (Isd), a high-poverty community where over 91% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out for its strong academic performance, especially for students from low-income backgrounds. In the most recent rankings, Johanna Odonnell placed in the 60th percentile among Texas elementary schools, a significant jump from the previous year's 48th percentile. More notably, its low socio-economic status (SES) students ranked in the 74th percentile, outperforming the school's overall rank and many nearby schools in higher-rated districts. For example, it outranks Robert R Rojas Elementary (59th percentile) in the Socorro Independent School District (Isd) and significantly outperforms Desert Wind Elementary (12th percentile) and Ernesto Serna Fine Arts Academy (19th percentile). The school also excels in its bilingual program, with 5th-grade students taking the STAAR Spanish exam scoring 50% proficient in Reading and 26.09% in Math, far exceeding state averages and nearby schools like Wm David Surratt Elementary (22.22% Reading) and L G Alarcon Elementary (7.69% Reading).

A key strength is the school's effective 5th-grade instruction, which consistently boosts English reading proficiency from 54.55% in 4th grade to 65.35% in 5th grade. However, 5th-grade science remains a challenge, with only 11.01% of students proficient compared to the state average of 29.57%, a common issue for high-poverty schools like Tornillo Intermediate (10%). With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.4:1—lower than Alfonso Borrego Senior Elementary (18.4:1)—the school effectively uses its resources to support student growth, showing that its internal practices are overcoming district-wide challenges.
