Olean High School, like most other schools, has a lot of pros and cons. Oftentimes the staff is wonderful, and then.. other times not so much. I would like to see a lot of change, and I think all of it starts with respect. The students do not respect each other, the teachers, the staff, administration. And the same goes from them to us. It is a hard place to be in most days because of that, and I hope that there will be less issues in the school in the future. THere are constant fights, a lot of problems with teachers, and administration that does nothing about it. I hope to see it change.

Principal A. told us when our child's life was being threatened by another student, he told us arrogantly, that there was "nothing he could do". He then insulted us behind our back, for demanding something be done. After implementing the dignity act, he found out he was wrong. When your child's life...

The teachers are very effective and personal. Every student has an opportunity to excel and most teachers push all students to do so. The athletic program is excellent but the school does a great job of keeping education first. When I attended I believe there were as many as 20 or more student led/t...
