Improve graduation rates.
In 2005, only 70.6% of American high school seniors received their diplomas.* The rest failed to earn the credits necessary for graduation or they dropped out of school completely. CompassLearning Odyssey can help you reduce dropout rates in your school or district by enabling students to recover the credits they need to graduate.
Odyssey secondary solutions can assist with:
Credit recovery
CompassLearning Odyssey enables students who are failing a course to receive course credit without repeating an entire year of school. Students can log on to Odyssey and take a summative assessment that is aligned to state standards. Odyssey will automatically prescribe personalized learning paths that cover the sections of the course they haven’t mastered. Students then work through those concepts to earn course credit.
Money-saving initiatives
High school dropouts cost school districts millions of dollars each year. With Odyssey as a credit-recovery option, students are less likely to drop out when they know they can focus only on concepts they haven’t mastered in order to receive credit and graduate. Odyssey also helps districts retain FTE dollars by employing a single facilitator for all of the students using Odyssey for credit recovery.
Credit advancement
Odyssey gives students the opportunity to meet course requirements both inside and outside the classroom. Odyssey’s comprehensive online courses give learners the opportunity to earn course credits in a flexible distance-learning environment that complements students’ busy schedules.
