Odom is named for Lalla M. Odom, a teacher known for her math instruction, and its building dates to 1970. It was the first project completed under Austin ISD’s 2022 bond: a $9.6 million renovation of the open-concept campus added walled classrooms, a secure entry and front office, a school mental health center, Pre-K upgrades and a community pantry, with a ribbon cutting in spring 2025. In 2025-26, its last year as a zoned school, Odom enrolled 271 students, with 78.6% economically disadvantaged, 46.1% emergent bilingual and 27.7% receiving special education services. For 2026-27, Sunset Valley Elementary closed and its school-wide dual language program moved to Odom, led by principal Elaine Navarro, previously principal of Sunset Valley. GreatSchools and TEA measure different things. GreatSchools weighs test results against schools with similar student populations, while TEA’s rating, below, is the state’s official accountability measure.
Academic Performance: Texas Education Agency Accountability Rating
In TEA’s 2025-26 accountability ratings, released in August 2026, Odom Elementary earned an overall F with a score of 56. That is down 6 points from a D (62) in 2024-25. Odom’s ratings have moved widely in recent years: a B (88) in 2021-22, an F (52) in 2022-23 and a C (73) in 2023-24.
- Overall TEA Rating (2025-26): F (56)
- Student Achievement: F, 53 out of 100 (based on STAAR performance)
- School Progress: F, 58 out of 100 (Academic Growth F/58, Relative Performance F/54)
- Closing the Gaps: F, 51 out of 100
- Prior Overall Ratings: B (88) in 2021-22, F (52) in 2022-23, C (73) in 2023-24, D (62) in 2024-25
- Austin ISD (2025-26): B (81) district-wide
Under TEA’s scale, an A reflects exemplary performance, B is recognized, C is acceptable, D needs improvement, and F is unacceptable. In 2025-26, all of Odom’s domain scores were in the F range. Student Achievement, the share of students meeting STAAR standards, fell from 56 to 53. School Progress dropped from a D (62) to an F (58), with Academic Growth at 58 and Relative Performance, which compares results with schools serving similar shares of economically disadvantaged students, at 54. Closing the Gaps fell from a D (63) to an F (51). Odom earned no distinction designations from 2022-23 through 2025-26, and in 2025-26 TEA identified it for comprehensive support and improvement, after targeted support and improvement in 2024-25.
These ratings describe Odom as a zoned neighborhood school. The 2026-27 campus is a school-wide dual language program that combines Odom’s dual language students with the program moved from Sunset Valley and draws students by application, so future ratings will reflect a different student body.

TEA issues updated ratings annually, so verify the current rating directly with Austin ISD or TEA before making a decision based on it.
Programs at Odom Elementary
Every Odom classroom is part of the Spanish dual language program for 2026-27, and admission is by application rather than by address. These are the programs Austin ISD and the Odom campus list for this school.
- School-Wide Dual Language: Every classroom is in the Spanish dual language program, with almost all instruction in both English and Spanish. Austin ISD’s goal for these programs is a balance of about 50% emergent bilingual and 50% non-emergent bilingual students.
- How Admission Works: Odom is open to students from anywhere in Austin ISD by application through Enroll Austin. Odom Schoolwide Dual Language is an admissions-based program in Round 1 (January 12 to February 6 for 2026-27), with remaining seats offered in Round 2. Seats depend on capacity and are not guaranteed. Students who are not emergent bilingual and are new to dual language must enter in Pre-K, kindergarten or the beginning of 1st grade.
- 2026-27 Transfer Priorities: For 2026-27, Austin ISD gave priority to current Sunset Valley and Odom dual language students, students from the closed Becker, Ridgetop and Reilly school-wide programs, and families formerly zoned to Odom.
- Pre-K: Odom has Pre-K and early childhood classrooms; the 2025 renovation added Pre-K classroom upgrades. Not all dual language campuses offer the program in Pre-K, so families should confirm Pre-K availability with the campus.
- Special Education: Austin ISD stated that a full continuum of special education services, including ECSE and Life Skills, will be offered at its school-wide dual language campuses, including Odom.
- AVID, CLI and SEL: Odom is an AVID certified elementary school and uses the Creative Learning Initiative and social and emotional learning; it is also a No Place for Hate campus.
- After-School: Austin ISD’s 3rd Base program runs 3:10 to 6:00 p.m. on campus, Prime Time offers free grant-funded sessions, and outside providers offer chess, film and cooking classes or van pick-up.
- PTA: Odom has an active PTA that held joint transition meetings with Sunset Valley families.
Current 3rd and 4th graders in Odom’s former English/ESL classrooms were allowed to return in 2026-27 to finish 4th and 5th grade in a temporary English/ESL strand. For current details on admission, Pre-K, special education or after-school care, contact Odom Elementary at (512) 414-2388.

How Admission Works at Odom
Odom has no attendance zone for 2026-27, so buying a home near the campus does not give a child a seat there. Austin ISD’s November 2025 consolidation plan made Odom a non-zoned, school-wide dual language campus and reassigned all students zoned to Odom to Pleasant Hill Elementary. That former zone, which includes Salem Walk, Southwest Park, Cooper Oaks and Austin Highlands, is now zoned to Pleasant Hill. Austin ISD’s February 2026 feeder chart lists Odom as a special campus rather than a neighborhood school.
Families apply through Enroll Austin. Odom’s Round 1 application window for 2026-27 ran January 12 to February 6, with remaining seats offered in Round 2, and seats depend on capacity. Students who are not emergent bilingual and are new to dual language must enter in Pre-K, kindergarten or the beginning of 1st grade. Austin ISD plans Phase 1 boundary changes for 2027-28, with a board vote expected in fall 2026, and a district-wide boundary and feeder realignment for fall 2028, so confirm your zoned school with Austin ISD’s school finder and check Enroll Austin for current application dates.
