We have gone to Odell Elem. for a couple of yrs and feel the office staff, as well as the teachers are hostile and cold. My child loved his old school and the teachers loved the children. But, you don't feel that at Odell. I have found the teachers to be mean, rude, hostile, unprofessional and uninspiring.
... Read more They don't appear to like teaching, nor children. Maybe it's because we have only had the teachers who have taught for over 20 yrs. They want the children to be seen and not heard. The school want's financial support but not involvment. The Principal is nice but can't seem to solve any problems. The other two Asst. Principals are worthless. The school is too rigid and unsupportive and that is one of the many reasons we are leaving this school. Read less
