Elementary Schools in Odyssey Charter District

This analysis focuses on the single elementary school, Odyssey Charter, within the Odyssey Charter District in Altadena, California, which serves grades K-8 with 463 students.

Odyssey Charter is a standout, high-performing school that consistently ranks in the top 15% of all California schools. Academically, it far exceeds state averages, with students scoring over 30 points higher in English, 27 points higher in math, and a remarkable 40 points higher in science. The school operates within the highly-ranked Odyssey Charter District, which is in the 93rd percentile statewide, indicating a supportive and successful district environment.

Despite its strong overall performance, two areas stand out for potential improvement. First, the school's chronic absenteeism rate is slightly higher than the state average, which is an unusual finding for such an academically successful school. Second, there is a notable dip in 6th-grade math proficiency that contrasts sharply with its otherwise excellent scores. Addressing these specific issues could help the school maintain and improve its already elite standing.
