GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Odyssey Charter is a school that's working hard to improve for its students. The staff is dedicated and trying their best. However, the school lacks many important resources and facilities, and it doesn't have many sports teams. Many of the planned upgrades are taking too long or won't be finished until after I leave. While the school is making an effort, there's still a lot that needs to be done to fully meet student's needs.

This was a great school when my son started but the teachers always leave and the board and administrators make horrible decisions. In the news for misappropriation of funds. Don't follow 504 plans. Run by morons!

Teachers are wonderful, Odyssey feels like a private school decent atmosphere. Teachers here do their best to help the students, reaching out to parents on missing assignments. It's a human institution so you don't expect everything to be excellent yet they do their best.

Odyssey Charter - Pressure cooker- waiting to explode. You are fine K-5 then it’s downhill from there. If student is a person of color be prepared to fight for your child, they will be sidelined for behavior and put into lower level class and basically driven out, if in sports they will be benched a...
