Ector County Schools: Odessa High School welcomed most students in 2021-22 school year

Odessa High School had the highest enrollment among Ector County schools, welcoming 3,914 students during the 2021-22 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 50.5% of them were boys, and 49.5% were girls.

Data also showed that the majority of students were Hispanic, representing 88.5% of the Odessa High School total enrollment.

Among the 51 schools in Ector County, Permian High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 3,734 students, while Nimitz Middle School welcomed 1,429 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

Odessa High School is a part of Ector County ISD, which roughly covers schools within Ector County with its main office in Odessa.

In the previous school year, Odessa High School also had the highest number of students among Ector County schools.

The Texas education system is currently torn between public schools and taxpayer-funded private schools.

Critics argue that private schools use funds that should go to the public school system, while private school advocates claim they’re offering better education for more Texas students.

Education in Texas is often a hot button issue, especially as test scores lag behind other states.

“The problems commonly cited are flaws in the school financing system, relatively low teacher salary, poor test performance by students, dropouts from traditional schools in favor of charter schools, gun violence, and mental health issues,” claimed the Texas Almanac.
