Odell Grade School

I would say it was a head spinning mistake to think this school operated in the finest Catholic traditions. Options for sports and music and other important development and socialization all depend on bussing to public schools, out sourcing, and the quality of other teaching is not what what one would expect, its a myth. It operate ok as a preschool, and no other preschool exists but I recommend to those parents to get their children in public school as soon a possible and enroll their children in CCD for religious education. I don't fault the school for having low enrollment, but I see no advantage in either with so many classes bussed, socialization in peer groups extremely limited, and standardized testing results not published or bragged about like at other Catholic schools. If you want your student(s) to grow and develop with their friends and not feel lonely then public school in the far better option in this case. If you want your student to participate more effectively in sports, music than public school is the far better option. It you want you student to have opportunities to excell in various areas of academics then public school is the far better option. If want to worry less what is going on at school on any given day, then public school is the far better option. If you want your child to be clear from a priest then public school is the far better option. Finally, if you want your child to learn about Christ, and demonstrate respect and compassion that starts are home.
