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 do not have any additional information to add. I only attended my senior year and I was attending the college for my classes

The classes and teachers are good but they can be hit or miss. The sports are excellent and there's a good range of clubs but many are inactive.

I think that Olympia High school has an amazing Business and marketing program but lacks the opportunity of reaching the entire student body. There is a wide variety of different demographics who attend the school and not all students are being heard. While the more popular students may be heard the ones who are quieter aren't always heard. Olympia does make sports accessible to the majority of students which is different then many other schools.
