The Odyssey Preparatory Academy Goodyear is a public charter elementary school serving 554 students in grades K-5 in Goodyear, Arizona. The school consistently ranks in the top 25-30% of Arizona elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in most years, and outperforms the state and its own district averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts and Mathematics across grades 3-5.

The Odyssey Preparatory Academy Goodyear has maintained a strong academic standing over the past 10 years, suggesting the school has established effective teaching practices and curriculum. While the school performs well overall, there are notable differences in the rankings of certain student subgroups, with the school performing particularly well for African American and Multi-racial student groups, but struggling with lower rankings for Asian and English Language Learner student groups. The school's relatively low per-student spending compared to nearby public schools, coupled with its strong academic outcomes, indicates the school is managing its resources effectively.

Although the curriculum is great. The delivery leads something to be desired. All students should have the ability to ask for help if needed. There are some wonderful teachers but they are very restricted by the admin. Close Quote

The school takes education to a new level and that is as it should be. There are multiple levels of learning in each subject so that all children are challenged. The unique thing about the school that truly makes it light years ahead is that the teach the children how to think and how to use morals. Close Quote
