Lauro Cavazos Elementary

Cavazos Elementary serves a working-class neighborhood on Odessa's west side, where the community is tight-knit and families are deeply rooted in the area. The school faces some real academic challenges, with scores that reflect the broader socioeconomic pressures common across much of west Odessa, so families who prioritize strong test performance may want to look at other options within Ector County ISD. That said, families already in the neighborhood who are engaged and proactive about supplementing their kids' learning at home will find a school community that knows its students well.
