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.

Olympic High School was a very underfunded school with good teachers and school spirit, but lacking in resources and college prep info.

My experience at Olympic High School was an experience I will always take with me throughout my next journey of life. The school allowed for students to be creative and explore different paths they wanted to take. Also the school provided a family-oriented environment where I felt comfortable to grow coming in as a shy freshman and leaving as a vocal and well educated senior.

My time at Olympic has been very amazing and I love the academic curriculum that they have, and all the different classes that I can take and explore. Now that's my last year. I have various outlet to go to at the school so that my last year can be successful. The teachers are very welcoming work with us one on one to make sure that we understand what we are being taught. Overall the school has been great, and I will miss it a lot once I graduate next year.
