My overall experience in Odyssey Charter as a senior who has been here for 5 years is that the school is mediocre. We have a change of staff every year due to management. Some teachers are nice and homey whereas others are stressed and take it out on the students.

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.
