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.

I graduated in 2024 but my Senior year was the best experience. I was able to graduated early. Also, I participated in extra curricular activities within the school and community. Since I started High School in the height of Covid we were not in school my Freshman and most of Sophomore year. This made a difference on my HS experience. Overall it was excellent.

I loved going there, the atmosphere and school environment was very positive and I had a very good time for the year of school I attended there.

Though Olympic is a great school, it is treated as if no one really cares. The administration does not make it appoint to get to know students and learn who they are. If not for students, many clubs I've joined I would have never known about.
