Better than Manchester public schools but because of online school due to covid, my child that has ADHD is quite behind the other students in the class, and Im not entirely convinced that Odyssey is doing all they can to help get him/her caught up.

Students are constantly being rude, and bullying other students. They even refuse to called the bully a bully, but an aggressor instead. They do not give detentions, instead, reflection time.

I only had a great experience with a Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Rosati.

They do not explain homework to the students.
Posted: October 11, 2019
They do not watch the students at recess, are always chatting, and a major lack of one-on-one teaching.

They only focus on appearance, and not on doing their job appropriately.

My kids have been at Odyssey for 5 years and it's been nothing but positive. My son is on the spectrum and this school has done so much more than the town elementary could even begin to approach. Teachers are the best in Manchester!

This was our first charter school experience. And being a teacher and reading consultant myself, we knew Manchester Public schools were not an option for our boys. Odyssey has been an amazing school for both of our boys, who have both florished academically!! Thank you Odyssey!!!

Odyssey has been such a wonderful opportunity for my son. After trying our local school for two years (which is supposedly the best elementary in the town) we entered the lottery for Odyssey and got in. Our dissatisfaction with our local school was the best thing that has happened academically, Odyssey has been such a great fit. Class sizes and truly engaged teachers and staff really make this a great learning environment.

I have a child with Asthma and severe multiple food allergies. His teachers are not only careful about the food but also his emotional needs when it comes to discussing about food around him.He is happy and we feel he is in safe hands.Not to forget wonderful nurses they have.

Ability grouping of students ?. Some serious safety concerns have come up ! Including but limited to an ambulance being called. Academic and Behavior issues within the classroom not addressed seriously or effectivly.

My daughter has been going here since the beginning of Kindergarden. I disagree that there is no parent involvement. Parets come in all the time and help with the programs. They should make it mandatory that if a parent does not help out the child can not attend. My daughter has improved so much with the teachers help.
