It is a decent school. Some of the lessons are worded and set up in a weird way so my daughter often has to ask me, then, I have to ask my husband. Lol. Other than that, great school but picking up and dropping off is a headache. The staff chooses to direct traffic themselves and they shouldn't. They really need to hire an outside party that can keep the traffic moving so you aren't waiting behind cars that randomly stop for their convenience.

I am so glad I removed my son from Coral and began Odyssey Charter. The staff is wonderful! The curriculum is well payed out. The teachers seem very happy to work her. I am so glad I found this gem!!! They have their school very controlled ( unlike Coral which is out of control) students are expected to have manners(which I LOVE) if you are thinking about this school....I am telling you .... best decision ever!!

I just saw my old review from 2014 and since my son graduated from Odyssey in 2017 I thought I'd share an update. We were REALLY glad we made the move to Odyssey, it was the best experience we had in Clark County schools. Schools have dramatically changed since I graduated from high school in 1985, much for the worse. While we used to appreciate good teachers, now it's almost impossible to find them. Public schools are a disaster on every level, they are no longer learning the basics of Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic and are instead being indoctrinated by s0cia1ist p01itical activists who are often morally challenged individuals. Odyssey allowed us to jump through all the required hoops, gain and prove the proficiency in subjects required by the State, and keep the indoctrination time to a bare minimum. As it was, the teachers were helpful when needed and were better than most of the other Clark County schools we attended. My son kept up with his studies which meant he only went to the school for 4 hours a week. We traveled extensively and had to deal with out of state family illnesses and were able to reasonably reschedule the 4 hours to the week before or after. My son learned how to work independently throughout the week to keep on track, and that has extended well into working as an independent contractor IRL, a skill many adults never develop. If you are looking for an alternative to institutionalized education and don't have the ability to send your child to a private school Odyssey's hybrid education proved to be an excellent option for us.

This is our first year at Odyssey but so far I'm loving it. My daughter is a freshman in HS but has some anxiety and also a few learning challenges but so far Odyssey has been so on top of things. Compared to another school with this similar motto odyssey has treated us so much better and makes sure my daughter knows if she puts in the work and takes advantage of the support offered here I really think she will thrive and the staff so far has made us so confident of that. Now as I said above putting in the work is required and for some kids (like my other child) would definitely have a hard time with this learning model because it does only have one day in person and the rest is online. However the staff we have encountered has been very responsive in getting in touch with me even before school started to handle my daughters iep and make sure she has access to the accommodations she qualifys for and compared to my experience in regular CCSD schools this one blows them away and my kid is actually learning instead of having to deal with special Ed classes with not enough staff.. Either way so far we are so happy with odyssey and the energy and awesome things like student council .. This may change but for now I am proud to have my child here.. Thanks for having such awesome staff and positive energy

My son has been going to Odyssey Charter School since 3rd grade after trying regular brick and mortar schools and online only programs and we really like odysseys hybrid model. He is now in 7th grade. I’ve heard a lot of things and seen a lot from other parents where the school system or CCSD has failed them or they haven’t been organized during this whole pandemic and going back to school. I haven’t had any issues, and they have been excellent about communicating everything in a timely manner and having everything organized and planned…. The only thing I love more than my kids is having peace of mind that everything is being taken care of. Putting my kid in this school was the best thing I could have chosen for him. I’m very grateful and can’t wait for the rest of my kids to be old enough to go here also. It is a school that is demanding but I think that’s what makes it great because it’s setting students up for organized success. I love being involved with his education and the flexibility it gives my son since he has ADHD and some days can be difficult. Thank you!

The biggest problem with this school is that the teachers do NONE of the teaching and the parents have to do ALL of the teaching. Instead of pointing parents to other websites to help with math why not have your teachers actually teach? I don't need a life coach for my child, I need a teacher. He is in 4th grade with odyssey and his teacher gets online once a week to work on 1 math problem then they play games and share. This is not enough teaching in my humble opinion. I asked if I can get my son into the math program that has some extra help but i was told he would have to have a grade below 40% to qualify. Why let a student get so far behind before you decide to help. What kind of school turns down a student needing help??? Honestly if they spent some time each day allowing students to jump on a meeting with the teacher for some actual math teaching or tutoring this school would be ok. I thought we would be able to tough it out at odyssey but it looks like we may have to go back to our old school. From what I hear they are actually teaching the kids online everyday. Go figure.

Enrolled my girls. High school had openings so my middle schooler had to start at her regular school, for the meantime. Everything ran smoothly this morning. Very nice staff!!

Fantastic model for distance education, caring teachers and admin. We are so grateful for Odyssey now more than ever as we watch how hard it is for traditional programs to adopt online learning.

The amount of work they have for kids in kindergarten is insane. So many lessons, live lessons, daily lessons, art projects and everything you have to post daily to show their work is overwhelming. Literally spending 8 plus hours a day on kindergarten school work that's too much for a young kid just starting.

My daughter has been at Odyssey for the past three years. She is currently a freshman. She has had such a positive experience while being at the school. She has been a straight A student for three years. The teachers have been amazing!! They are positive, encouraging, and supportive.

My son has had educational challenges throughout regular schools and was failing miserably, even with an IEP. I found Odyssey Charter Schools online and since then, his grades have improved substantially. Odyssey has proved to be the best thing that ever happened. I enrolled him in Nevada Connect, but found that I had to sit down with him and do the work myself. The teachers were difficult and nearly impossible to reach. Odyssey, on the other hand, is right there with you every step of the way. They absolutely will NOT let your child fail. They call/text the parents, they answer the telephone, they allow your child to come in 5 days a week if necessary. This is the BEST school ever and is a great alternative to regular schools.

This school offers flexibility, mainly for those who have outside endeavors. If you are not engaging in extracurricular activities, a more traditional school might be a better fit.
