Summary

Odyssey MiddleHigh School is a small alternative school in Mount Pleasant, MI, serving just 69 students in grades 7 through 12 as part of the Shepherd Public Schools district.

This school serves a student population facing significant challenges, with nearly 9 out of 10 students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The most pressing concern for parents to understand is the school's graduation rate, which stands at just 57.1%—far below the district's 86.4% and the state's 84.0%. The dropout rate of 28.5% is nearly four times higher than both the district and state averages. Chronic absenteeism also affects nearly half of the student body, meaning many students miss substantial portions of the school year. Academically, proficiency rates on state tests are dramatically lower than surrounding schools; for example, only 30% of 11th graders were proficient in reading and writing on the SAT, compared to 54.2% for the district. Science proficiency sits at just 15%, less than half the district rate of 34.4%.

It's important to view these numbers in context. Odyssey is an alternative placement school, not a traditional feeder school. Its sister school, Shepherd High School, is a high-performing institution with a 93.3% graduation rate, highlighting the stark difference in student populations. Compared to another local alternative school, Oasis, Odyssey actually has lower chronic absenteeism (49.4% vs. 93.7%) but a somewhat higher graduation rate. There are some positive signs: the school's overall state ranking has improved dramatically from the bottom 2% a decade ago to the 24th percentile today, and its performance with low-income students reached the 52nd percentile in 2023-2024. The school also spends significantly more per student ($19,163) than Shepherd High School ($11,737), reflecting the intensive support these students require—though results remain inconsistent.
