Odessa High School

Odessa High School serves students in the heart of West Texas oil country, where the Permian Basin's boom-and-bust energy economy shapes much of everyday life — and where Friday night football is practically a civic religion. Families looking for a traditional, community-rooted high school experience will find it here, though academics are still a work in progress, with scores clustering in the lower ranges across English, math, and science. It's a school that reflects its city honestly: hardworking and proud, with plenty of room to grow.
