Best Elementary Schools in Zip Code 79764

Summary:

In zip code 79764 in Odessa, Texas, there are two elementary schools serving grades PK-5, both part of the Ector County Independent School District (Isd), a district facing significant challenges with a state ranking in the 33rd percentile and where over 86% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Murry Fly Elementary stands out as the stronger performer in this area. Despite having more than double the enrollment of Noel Elementary (1,091 vs. 501 students) and a higher student-to-teacher ratio (22:1 vs. 19.7:1), Murry Fly consistently achieves better academic results. It is ranked in the 41st percentile statewide (2-star school), while Noel Elementary is ranked in the 19th percentile (1-star school). For example, in 5th-grade math, Murry Fly's proficiency rate of 54.35% is nearly double Noel's 29.33%. Murry Fly also shows a positive upward trend in key subjects, whereas Noel's scores have declined in recent years.

An interesting finding is that Noel Elementary outperforms Murry Fly in several Spanish-language STAAR tests, particularly in 4th grade, suggesting a potentially stronger bilingual program. However, both schools share a critical weakness in 5th-grade science, with proficiency rates around 17%, far below the state average of 29.57%. Additionally, Noel spends $1,286 more per student ($9,920) than Murry Fly ($8,634), yet achieves lower academic outcomes, raising questions about resource efficiency. For parents, Murry Fly Elementary appears to be the more effective choice in this zip code, despite larger class sizes and lower per-student spending.
