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, a supportive staff and administration. Many opportunities for students to be involved and succeed both academically and socially. Some facilities can use upgrades (for example, air conditioning in all classrooms).

so far, I've had a wonderful experience at Olympian high school. The teachers are very friendly and are always ready to help students with what they need however, some teachers let their personal beliefs get in between their job. I believe personal beliefs should not interfere with their jobs since they're dealing with the multitude of students/people of different walks of life.
