Since c19 the school stopped allowing volunteers, and does a great job at keeping parents out of the school. I believe we need more family/parent involvement in r7 schools. There is not much done about bullying, but it’s also not as big of an issue as other schools so I wouldn’t say there’s a bully problem here. There are not many extracurriculars, but there are sports and the coaches really care about our kids. The teachers really try to be in touch about our kids and keep them on track. Overall it is a good school and my kids enjoy it. They also have a rule where phones need to be in lockers during school, and the 6th graders aren’t mixing with the older grades because they have their own hallway. This is a small town so the students aren’t welcoming of outsiders, but the transplants have been extremely welcoming. I wish the school would allow more community involvement, and push our kids more but there’s not much else I’d change.

I grew up near Odessa, Missouri. And I went to Odessa R-VII School District. I trust the school district, teachers, and the students. My son is going to Kendergate and he learned a lot about school in Sumer school.My daughter is going to 6th grade and she knows Middle School like crazy, because they have a fun event called move - up- day. Odessa RVII is a great school district.

I had to take my children out of this school. The administration will not stop any bad behavior dealing with well known bullying problem. After seeing the non-action of the school districts administration also, I felt it was in the best interest of my children's safety to take them out of the school district.

We moved here at the beginning of the year and have 7 kids throughout the Odessa School System. All of them have done wonderful, especially our son who goes to the Middle school and is in the Special Ed program. The teachers there are great and keep in close contact with the parents. Across the board in every school the teachers are outstanding. We are happy that we moved to such a supportive community.
