Preschool | Grades K-5 | Charter-86

Odyssey Charter School is located in Wilmington, DE and is in Charter-86 School District. It is a charter school that serves 438 students in grades K-5.

Charter schools are public schools, but differ from traditional public schools in that they are independent and are operated by educators, parents, community leaders, educational entrepreneurs, or others. Funding for charter schools is based on designated local or state educational organizations. Those organizations are responsible for monitoring and assessing the quality and effectiveness of education, but permit the schools to operate outside of the traditional public school education system.

Odyssey Charter School made AYP in 2009. Under No Child Left Behind, a school makes Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) if it achieves the minimum levels of improvement determined by the state of Delaware in terms of student performance and other accountability measures. See Odyssey Charter School's test results to learn more about school performance.

In 2011, Odyssey Charter School had 13 students for every full-time equivalent teacher. The Delaware average is 14 students per full-time equivalent teacher. Learn more about Odyssey Charter School's students and teachers. more
