Original Research by School Decision on Odyssey School
Odyssey School serves students in preschool through sixth grade in Woods Cross, a primarily residential suburb along the Wasatch Front in Davis County. The city is a commuter community with a young population, a mostly owner-occupied stock of single-family homes, and very low housing vacancy. There is no traditional downtown; schools and civic facilities are spread across separate addresses. A FrontRunner commuter rail station connects the area to Salt Lake City and Ogden. The housing market is expensive relative to national benchmarks, and the area's population has been essentially flat in recent years.
This is one of the elementary schools in the Davis District, the larger school system that covers the county. The district recently opened a new comprehensive high school in Farmington to relieve overcrowding, and it now offers optional full-day kindergarten across its elementary schools, a change that applies to Odyssey as well.
The student body is predominantly white, with the next largest group being Hispanic students. A very small share of students qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a largely higher-income enrollment. The school is relatively small for an elementary campus serving these grade levels.
On state assessments, roughly half of students scored proficient or above in English language arts, and a slightly smaller share did so in math. In science, about half of students also scored proficient. When measured as a single overall index across tested subjects, the school's proficiency stands above the midpoint among elementary schools in Davis County. This places it in the middle to upper range locally, though not among the highest-performing schools in the county. A parent may want to look into this further with the school to see how different student groups are performing, as only the all-student results are available in this data.
No information was available on chronic absenteeism or student discipline, nor on staffing ratios or course access. Because the school serves only elementary grades, there is no graduation rate to report. Special education and English learner counts were also not present in the data.
For a family considering this school, it sits in an affluent suburban community with a tight housing market and little population growth. The academic results are solidly in the middle range for the county, and the school offers a standard elementary program within a large district that has made recent investments in early childhood and high school capacity.
