I think that I've had a good four years and Olympics so far the school is very safe in my opinion the school isn't too strict like other schools and I'm hoping for another good rest of my senior year

My experience at Olympic High School was an experience I will always take with me throughout my next journey of life. The school allowed for students to be creative and explore different paths they wanted to take. Also the school provided a family-oriented environment where I felt comfortable to grow coming in as a shy freshman and leaving as a vocal and well educated senior.

It was a great experience for me because I grew fond of many of my peers and teachers. The shift of admin in students did change the dynamic midyear but overall and fun experience I would wish many to have. I have never felt unsafe or harmed at this school.
