Summary:
There is one school in this area: Odyssey Charter School, an elementary charter school in American Fork serving about 420 students in kindergarten through sixth grade. The school ranked in the 67th percentile among Utah schools in 2025–26, improving from the 53rd percentile the previous year, while the Odyssey Charter School district ranked 29th of 92 Utah districts and received four stars. This provides a generally favorable picture, although the school’s ranking remains below its 75th-percentile result from 2023–24.
The school’s strongest results are in the upper grades, especially sixth grade. In 2025–26, sixth-grade students exceeded statewide proficiency rates in English language arts, mathematics, and science: 62.5% versus 44.1% in ELA, 60.0% versus 37.4% in math, and 73.2% versus 58.2% in science. Fourth-grade science was also strong at 65.7%, compared with 52.6% statewide. ELA generally improved after third grade, with fourth through sixth grades above state results. Fifth-grade ELA was also above the state even though the result was reported as a range. These results suggest that students can perform particularly well in literacy and science as they move into the upper grades.
Mathematics is the main area parents may want to examine closely. Third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade math results were below Utah averages, while sixth grade showed a dramatic improvement over the prior year. This large variation suggests that performance differs considerably by grade or student cohort. Chronic absenteeism was 28.0% in 2024–25, matching the district but exceeding the statewide rate of 23.8%, so attendance is another important consideration. The school reported a 17:1 student–teacher ratio and 17.86% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Overall, Odyssey appears to be a solid, above-average school with notable upper-grade strengths, but families should ask about math support, attendance efforts, and how the school addresses differences between grade levels.
