Summary

Odem Intermediate in Odem, TX, is a small, rural school serving 198 students in grades 3-5 within the Odem-Edroy Independent School District (Isd), and it has shown remarkable improvement over the past four years, climbing from a 1-star to a 3-star rating and outperforming many nearby schools despite serving a community where about two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school truly shines in reading, with 3rd and 4th graders consistently scoring above the state average—for example, 61.67% of 3rd graders were proficient compared to 51.08% statewide. It also provides outstanding support for special education students, who ranked in the 71st percentile statewide and earned a 4-star rating, the highest subgroup rating at the school. However, math is a challenge, especially in 5th grade, where only 30.88% of students were proficient, well below the state average of 47.38%. This suggests the school focuses heavily on literacy, and a renewed emphasis on math could help students maintain momentum as they prepare for middle school.

Compared to nearby schools, Odem Intermediate is a strong performer. It significantly outperforms Woodroe Petty Elementary (15th percentile) and is competitive with Sinton Elementary (50th percentile), even though both serve similar or higher poverty levels. While it doesn't match the top-tier Calallen West Intermediate (80th percentile), it is closing the gap in 4th-grade reading (65.08% vs. 68.5%). This makes Odem Intermediate a compelling choice for families seeking a small, intimate school with a strong upward trajectory and a proven ability to help students succeed in reading.
