Summary

Odyssey Charter School is a K–6 public charter school in American Fork serving about 420 students in an area with several nearby Alpine District schools and other charter options. Its 2025–2026 statewide ranking was 186th out of 563 Utah schools, placing it in the 67th percentile with a 3-star rating. This makes Odyssey stronger than most nearby schools, though it trails local standouts such as Shelley School, ranked in the 93rd percentile, and Manila School, ranked in the 72nd percentile.

Academically, Odyssey’s clearest strengths are science and upper-grade literacy. In the latest results, ELA proficiency was 54.9% in fourth grade, 60–78% in fifth grade, and 62.5% in sixth grade, all above state averages; third-grade ELA was slightly below the state result. Science was also strong in fourth grade at 65.7% and sixth grade at 73.2%, while fifth grade was reported at 40–58%. Mathematics is more uneven: third and fourth grades were below state averages, fifth grade was especially concerning at 20–38%, and sixth grade was a major strength at 60%. Compared with nearby Forbes School, Greenwood School, Central School, and Mount Mahogany School, Odyssey generally posts stronger results.

Odyssey’s ranking has recovered from the 53rd percentile in 2024–2025 but remains below several earlier years in the 70s. Chronic absenteeism improved to 28.0% in 2024–2025, lower than at Forbes, Greenwood, Central, Mount Mahogany, and Alpine Online School, although still above Utah’s 23.8% rate. Its 17.0-to-1 student-teacher ratio is also more favorable than nearly all nearby schools, including Manila School and Barratt School. Overall, Odyssey offers a solid local option, with science, upper-grade ELA, staffing, and sixth-grade achievement as notable advantages. The most important area to watch is math consistency, especially in fifth grade.

Open Quote I am both a parent and teacher at Odyssey Charter School. All four of my children have attended or are currently attending Odyssey. I am very pleased with the education they have received. The curriculum is well laid out and builds from one year to the next to give them a well rounded knowledge base. I love the Music and Latin programs because they are so well taught and enhance the education my children receive. Because I also work at the school, I see first hand how dedicated the teachers are to providing the best possible education and learning environment for my kids. They work long hours to make sure everything is just right. They also keep me informed about what is going on in the classroom, what is coming up so I can help my kids be prepared, and any individual concerns and accolades regarding my kids. My favorite thing about Odyssey is the positive atmosphere within the school. The current administration is so supportive and the staff really work together and collaborate to make things run smoothly. Close Quote
