Premier H S Odessa

Summary:

Premier H S Odessa is a small public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Odessa, Texas, with a student population of just 89 as of the 2022-2023 school year. However, this school has struggled to provide a quality education, consistently ranking among the lowest-performing high schools in the state.

Premier H S Odessa faces significant challenges, including low academic performance, with proficiency rates on state exams well below the state and district averages across all subjects. The school also has a relatively high dropout rate of 4.3%, compared to the state average of 1.9%, and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 66.29% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate is not reported, indicating it is likely below the state average of 90%.

When compared to other schools in the area, Premier H S Odessa's performance is particularly concerning. Premier H S Of Midland, another charter school in the same district, outperforms Premier H S Odessa across several metrics, including higher STAAR proficiency rates, a higher graduation rate, and a lower dropout rate. Similarly, nearby traditional public high schools, such as Permian High School and Odessa High School, also outperform Premier H S Odessa on academic measures. The school's poor performance is particularly pronounced among its Hispanic, low-income, and at-risk student subgroups, which rank in the bottom 10-20% of their respective peer groups statewide.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
