Summary

The Odyssey Preparatory Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Buckeye, Arizona, with 578 students enrolled. The school is part of the Odyssey Preparatory Academy Inc. district, which is ranked 148 out of 289 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Odyssey Preparatory Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools over the past 10 years, typically ranking between 500-700 out of over 1,000 schools. The school has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating below-average performance compared to other Arizona elementary schools. This is lower than the nearby Sundance Elementary (2-star) and Westpark Elementary (3-star) schools, which are part of the Buckeye Elementary District.

The Odyssey Preparatory Academy's proficiency rates on the AASA and AzSCI state assessments are generally below the state and district averages across grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics. The school also has lower rankings for several student subgroups compared to the overall school ranking, including female students, male students, English language learners, and students with disabilities. These consistent challenges suggest systemic issues that the school has not been able to effectively address, despite its proximity to higher-performing schools in the same district.
