Odyssey Charter School
I did put a review out about this school and now it seems like they have removed the comments because they did not like what was written about them and the school. Odyssey is a good school but certain teachers give it a bad name and don't realize that parents talk and know what's going on and the cover ups don't help. Teachers do not know how to treat the younger children and they talk amongst themselves in front of the children not realizing that they hear what is going on and the kids tell their parents. They need to know how to manage the school and children instead of just taking the teachers side with everything they don't know with enough parents complaining to the board of education what could happen. Not because you are a charter school and a Montessori school that you can't change for your students that you say you care about. There is so much to say about this school and most not nice but they should at least try to improve for the children and give them a chance and worry about the teachers after because who counts more?????

I love it. Healthy food, whole child education, Montessori and project style curriculum, and required parent involvement.
