Odyssey School

Summary:

Odyssey School is an elementary school located in Ogden, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 448. The school is part of the Ogden City District, which is ranked 83 out of 98 districts in Utah and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Odyssey School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-20% of Utah elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in RISE assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the Ogden City District and state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, Odyssey School has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. In comparison, the nearby Washington Terrace School and Riverdale School have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 24.34% to 52.12%.

Odyssey School's persistent low performance, with no improvement in its SchoolDigger rating or proficiency rates on state assessments, suggests that the school is facing significant challenges in improving student outcomes. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of around 20:1, which is comparable to the nearby schools, the unique needs of its student population may require targeted interventions and support to address the complex factors influencing the school's academic performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
