Summary

Odyssey Online Learning is a public charter high school in Chapin, SC, serving 536 students in grades 9-12 through the Charter Institute at Erskine, offering a fully online alternative to the larger traditional schools nearby.

Parents should know that this school has faced significant academic challenges. In the most recent testing, only 23.8% of students scored proficient on English 1, compared to 85.45% at Chapin High and 82.87% at Spring Hill High, both located just a few miles away. The school's statewide ranking has fallen from the 46th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 5th percentile today. Graduation rates have been volatile, dropping to 47.7% in 2020-2021 before recovering to 89.6% most recently. Dropout rates have also spiked dramatically in some years, reaching 22.6% in 2020-2021—about 13 times the state average. Even with improvements, the current 4.1% dropout rate remains double the statewide figure.

There are some encouraging signs. The school has doubled its per-student spending to $10,673 and improved its student-teacher ratio from 58:1 to 15:1, which coincides with better graduation and attendance numbers. Students who persist to English 2 show much stronger performance (73.16% proficiency), suggesting the online model may work better for some learners over time. However, the school still spends less per student than nearby schools like Lexington High ($15,789) and Irmo High ($12,807). For families considering this option, it's important to understand that Odyssey appears to serve students who may have struggled in traditional settings, and while recent trends are positive, the academic outcomes remain far below those of neighboring schools.
