Summary

Odem High School is a small, rural high school in Odem, TX, serving 278 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Odem-Edroy Independent School District (Isd), with a significant population of students from low socio-economic backgrounds. The school has shown a clear upward trajectory in its overall state ranking over the past decade, moving from 2-star ratings to a consistent 3-star rating (57th-61st percentile) after a peak 4-star rating in 2021-2022, and it offers a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 10.7:1, which is a significant advantage for personalized instruction compared to larger nearby schools like Tuloso-Midway High School (12.7:1) and Roy Miller H S And Metro School Of Design (16.2:1).

Odem High School excels in Biology and English II Reading, consistently outperforming the state average and many neighboring schools. For example, in the 2025-2026 school year, 80% of students were proficient in Biology (compared to the state average of 70.51%) and 71.21% in English II Reading (compared to the state average of 59.88%), significantly outpacing schools like Sinton High School (53.62% in English II) and West Oso High School (54.55% in English II). However, Algebra I is a consistent weakness, with proficiency rates hovering around 32-40% over the last four years, well below the state average of 45-54% and schools like Calallen High School (52.59% in Algebra I).

The school has shown exceptional support for at-risk and English Language Learner students, with these subgroups historically ranking in the 83rd-84th percentile statewide, and a dramatic turnaround for Special Education students from the 14th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 62nd percentile in 2025-2026. While Odem is outperformed by the specialized Harold T Branch Academy For Career & Technical Educational (90th percentile, 4 stars) in every subject, it holds a competitive position in the region, outperforming Taft High School (20th percentile), Robstown Early College High School (21st percentile), and West Oso (49th percentile), while performing on par with Tuloso-Midway High School (57th percentile) and Sinton High School (48th percentile).

The only way things will change in this district is if the mentality of the community itself changes. It saddens me to see how this community has simply...given up. The administration needs to be purged and the teaching and overall staff needs to be replaced. Close Quote
