GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Overall, Olympic High School definitely wasn't the worst High School to exist. There were minimal threats, and the 1 or 2 that we had were just former or present students making 'jokes'. And all were caught. Academically, some classes were great, some were horrible...like any other high school, of course. Like everywhere, it all depends on the teachers and the students' interest in the subject at hand.
