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.

My daughter has been thriving since she started attending this school. They are very patient with her and she loves all her teachers. I love that her teachers take the time to teach according to her personal learning needs. I recommend this school to anyone. It's the best in Texas City.

I liked that the staff was determined to get students interested in college, although they lack organization, and the school is in desperate need of remodeling.

my experience here at odyssey has been on of the most life changing parts of my life. I've been to many schools throughout my life and odyssey has been one of the better schools that I've been to. while being a student at odyssey there are so things that i would change for example when a student is 18yrs of age they should be able to sign documents. also I think that the amount of technology should be up to date with modern times. But there are some things that i would not change about odyssey.

My daughter currently attends Odyssey Academy but it is not working out. She has been bullied by kids and her 1st grade teacher (teacher made my daughter clean up another student's feces and nothing was done) and I am at my wits end. I have had to continually fight the school on a few issues, the mo...
