Summary

Odyssey Early College and Career Options is a small grade 9–12 high school in Colorado Springs, CO, serving about 287 students as part of the Colorado Springs School District No. 11 (D11). The district itself rates only 2 stars and ranks 66th among 115 Colorado districts, but Odyssey is a clear standout: it ranks 41st out of 338 Colorado high schools for 2025–2026, earning a 4-star rating in the 88th percentile. That places it far above nearby D11 high schools like Palmer High School (23rd percentile), Doherty High School (32nd percentile), and Mitchell High School (7th percentile), and it has earned 4 stars consistently for nearly a decade.

Odyssey's biggest academic strength is literacy. Reading/writing proficiency on the PSAT10 reached 90% in 2025–2026, compared to 55% for the district and 65% for the state; SAT reading/writing came in at 81% versus 50% and 60%, respectively. Science scores are just as impressive, with 63.6% of 11th graders proficient on the CMAS science test, far above the district's 22.1% and the state's 24.8%. Math is strong too — SAT math proficiency was 36% versus 20% for the district — and the graduation rate of 93.5% is the best in the area, beating Palmer (82.2%), Doherty (82.3%), and Power Technical (91.7%).

The school's early college/career model appears to work especially well for students facing economic barriers. Roughly 51% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, yet low-income students rank in the 93rd percentile statewide with a 5-star rating. Odyssey also outperforms other area early-college/career schools: Colorado Early Colleges Colorado Springs posts SAT reading at 72% and science at 33.3%, while Odyssey posts 81% and 63.6%. A few caution flags are worth noting: chronic absenteeism jumped from 8.7% to 43.9% in one year, the student-teacher ratio rose to 28.7, and gifted/talented students rank at the 41st percentile. Even with these concerns, Odyssey stands out as one of the strongest high school options in the Colorado Springs area, especially for students who thrive in a college-prep, career-focused environment.

As a parent I could not be more pleased with Odyssey. The staff are all exceptional and make the extra effort that can be seen from the outside. The organization and communication are the absolute best I've seen through my child's school career. Close Quote
