Summary

Odyssey Academy of Virtual Learning is a public charter virtual school serving grades PK-12 in Ripon, Wisconsin, which is part of the Ripon Area School District. The school has consistently high graduation rates, ranging from 90.4% to 95.4% in recent years, significantly outperforming the state average. Additionally, Odyssey Academy has very low dropout rates, typically around 1-2%, much lower than the state average.

However, the school's performance on standardized tests has been mixed, with some grade levels exceeding the district and state in English Language Arts and others falling behind. In Mathematics, the school's performance is also uneven, with some grade levels outperforming the district and state, while others lag behind. Odyssey Academy's student-teacher ratio has ranged from 19.9 to 22.4 in recent years, which is higher than the nearby Princeton School's ratio of 10.9. The school's chronic absenteeism rates have also varied significantly, from as low as 4.1% to as high as 19.5% in recent years, an area that requires closer monitoring.

Despite these challenges, Odyssey Academy appears to be a high-performing virtual school that is effectively supporting its students' academic and personal growth. The school's relatively low free and reduced-price lunch rates, combined with its lower spending per student, suggest that it may be operating efficiently and effectively, potentially serving as a model for other virtual schools in the state. Overall, Odyssey Academy of Virtual Learning offers a unique educational experience for families in the Ripon area, with both strengths and areas for improvement.
