Summary

Odem J H is a small middle school in Odem, TX, serving 204 students in grades 6-8 within the Odem-Edroy Independent School District (Isd), where about 67% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school has shown a clear upward trend in recent years.

One of the most standout features of Odem J H is its exceptional performance in advanced math. In the 2025-2026 school year, a remarkable 93.75% of students taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam were proficient—far exceeding the state average of 54% and outperforming nearby schools like Tuloso-Midway Middle (62%) and Calallen Middle (100% with a much larger group). The school also shines in 8th-grade social studies, with 35% of students proficient, beating the state average of 32% and far surpassing struggling peers like Driscoll Middle (6%) and Seale J H (5.5%). However, the school has a notable gender gap: it ranks in the 59th percentile for male students but only the 26th percentile for female students, suggesting that support systems may be more effective for boys. Additionally, support for special education students has been inconsistent, dropping from the 55th percentile to the 2nd percentile in the most recent year.

Despite these challenges, Odem J H is on a positive trajectory, improving its overall state ranking from the 24th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 45th percentile in 2025-2026. With a low student-to-teacher ratio of 13.1 and a consistently low dropout rate, the school provides a personalized environment. While it outperforms many schools in the Corpus Christi Independent School District (Isd) and West Oso Independent School District (Isd), it still trails more affluent schools like Calallen Middle. The key for Odem J H will be to translate its advanced math success to the general math curriculum and address the gaps in support for female and special education students.
