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 enjoy going to Olney High School because it makes me feel like I'm at home and pushes me to do my best no matter what I go through. One thing they can change is allowing students to change the school if its in a positive way.

It's an okay school. There are lots of downsides and some of the people that work there aren't the best. Football is too focused even though it is a failing sport. The only trustworthy teachers are the science ones and some of the coaches. It's old fashioned. I would love to see off-campus lunch in the future.

Olney didn't exactly prepare me, or anyone else for that matter, for the real world or for college. We were treated worse than prisoners, the faculty/board members/principal/ superintendent were idiotic.
