Odyssey Elementary

Q: Is Odyssey Elementary a good school?

Odyssey Elementary ranks 660 th of 1061 Wisconsin elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Odyssey Elementary is a public elementary school located in Weston, Wisconsin, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 72 students. It is part of the D.C. Everest Area School District, which is ranked 184 out of 428 school districts in Wisconsin and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Odyssey Elementary has shown a declining performance trend in recent years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 96 out of 1,050 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 660 out of 1,061 in 2023-2024. While the school's performance on the Forward Exam is mixed compared to the district and state averages, it stands out in 4th-grade Science, with 60% of students proficient or better, compared to the district's 57.21% and the state's 52.92%. Odyssey Elementary also has a relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools like Franklin Elementary and Rothschild Elementary.

However, Odyssey Elementary has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 0% in 2018-2019 to 9.9% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the nearby Rothschild Elementary (9.5%) and Mountain Bay Elementary (6.1%). This, along with the school's declining performance trend, suggests that Odyssey Elementary faces a complex set of challenges that require targeted interventions and collaboration with neighboring schools to address its areas of concern.

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.
