Schools in IDEA Public Schools · Ector County

Odessa anchors this West Texas county's entire public school landscape, with all 44 ranked schools spread across five districts serving a community shaped by the energy industry. Most of the standout performers are concentrated within Ector County ISD, where specialized magnet programs have earned strong statewide recognition — El Magnet at Reagan Elementary ranks in the 99th percentile statewide, and Odessa Collegiate Academy Early College High School reaches the 94th percentile. Only six schools land in the top quartile statewide, so families should look closely at individual campuses, particularly those magnet and early college options, when weighing their choices.
