Odyssey Charter School

i Must agree with parent which they are teaching the kids to be zombies,follow direction without questioning, i realized the school is more concern with not to step out of line by 1 inch and and everyday bringing money in for different reason. some parents might not object but a lot of families might not be able to afford it at these hard times. classes crowded we find that we are doing the teachings at home with homework, teachers just review one time my son had couple failing grades we requested a conf. but to no avail. send request for conf. with second report still no word. emailed and left phone message for new princ. several times no return call. don't see homework but great to respond and send request for money. they should open up gift shop there instead with pic. taking booth. if a kid is not progressing they don't care have extera for smarter kids so they get better rating. it's all about rating for better funding from the state. previous princ. were attentive cordial and great response but this new lady just like to hold her coffee in the morning and look cool and come and in control. teachers leaving left and right my kid is confuse, you can figure why.

Odyssey Charter School is the BEST choice for my family. I would not consider sending my children to any other school. It is an A plus school with teachers and staff who are truly dedicated to helping each child learn and grow into happy, healthy, well prepared adults with the skills to become whatever they choose in life. Adding a healthy food kitchen and holistic programs (that go beyond basic character education) makes Odyssey Charter School a world-class model. All of this AND a healthy high performance GREEN facility .WOW. I am truly grateful for the existence of this educational treasure! I would move to Brevard County if I didn t already live here just so my children could attend this school!

I love this school! I have been a student here since Kindergarten. All of my teachers have been great. This is a school of choice and I am very glad my parents applied to send me to Odyssey. I am in the gifted student program and enjoy the additional special projects and activities. I wish the school could open an Odyssey High School!

I have been a teacher at Odyssey Charter School since its founding in 1999. The school has a unique mission and vision to help children reach their full potential and has been growing and achieving milestones in this area throughout the years. The faculty is strong and devoted to the children and focuses upon each child's needs. We have implemented wellness programs and nutrition education to help children make better choices. I love this school, the children, and its mission.

I have to say that i am extremely dissapointed by this school. I don't think I have enough room for the list I have. First, my sons teachers are insincere and don't even acknowledge him. Second, they have no homework and we get no progress reports, but yet, we are told "if you find your child falling behind....", how are we supposed to know? Third, they teach your kids to be zombies with no importance on creativity or logic. Yes, their lunches are healthier than most, but not by much, in all honesty. Another thing, my wife and I were excited about the motessori theology... which they dont implement unless it really means "your kid is smart, so they get no attention". If you value your kids well being and their growth, DO NOT send them there, unless of course you want confusion or headaches.

I can't complain, the education here is well rounded, and really is about the whole child. The curriculum is very thoughtful, when it comes to how it will help students. The teachers have been very helpful, even when my child hasn't been. The food is far healthier then the stuff in the regular public schools, and the children are taught about healthy foods, environment, and more. I wouldn't want my children anywhere else. The only complaint is that the class sizes could be smaller, then again they have 2 qualified teachers in each class.

Beautiful environment for children. Good leadership. Caring teachers. State-of-the art made-from-scratch healthy lunch program. Strong academics. Good extra-curricular choices and remedial programs. Needs to improve communications.

Doesn't get much better than this. Gret environment, nice administration, lots of help for struggling students, extracurricular activities, and wonderful lunch.

I am not impressed with this school either. I like the healthy foods lunch program. However I would not recommend the Pre-K program. I do not see any progress here and I doubt if Kindergarten will be any better.

So far not overly impressed. My daughter is in Kindergarten this year and I do not like having 29 kids in her class, yes that is two teachers in one room but that is way to many kids for my taste. I'm not feeling it right now and neither is my daughter.
