Summary:
In zip code 78370, there is one high school, Odem High School, serving grades 9 through 12 in the Odem area of Texas, with a total enrollment of 278 students.
Odem High School is part of the Odem-Edroy Independent School District (ISD) and holds a consistent 3-star state ranking, placing it in the middle of the pack statewide. The school shows a clear split in academic performance: it excels in Biology and English II Reading, significantly outperforming state averages, but struggles in Algebra I and U.S. History, where scores fall well below state benchmarks. The graduation rate is 88.1%, and the dropout rate is very low at 0.4%. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.7 to 1, the school has the potential for strong student-teacher relationships, though the graduation rate remains a point of concern.
Over 60% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage, while the district spent $13,879 per student. Year-over-year performance is inconsistent, with some subjects like English I Reading showing significant drops and others like Biology showing strong gains. This suggests that while the school effectively supports students in certain subjects, targeted interventions may be needed in math and history to address the challenges of a high-poverty student population and improve overall outcomes.
