Excellent experience. From the minute you arrive at the main office you will be received with a smile and very nice and helpful receptionist. Everyone working at this school are amazing. My son is truly enjoying his high school years and is learning the skills he needs for the future. The kids in this school are very respectful and seem to be enjoying their campus too. The principal is very nice and he is such a hard worker. I love the spirit the school has and I'm very thankful to have my son as part of this great school.

My two sons attend this school. They both have loved their experience at Olympian, both are also involved in Athletics. The curriculum is challenging and all students are advised to take AP/Honors/Accelerated courses at least once. The majority of the teachers are very supportive and passionate about their subject. Parent involvement at this school is great. The information sessions and workshops are always well attended. I did have a couple of minor issues trying to get in touch with the counselor; it took her a few days to get back to me. It wasn't anything of much importance, so I didn't make a big fuss about it. This school is currently the number one in the district and in the top 1,000 high schools in the entire U.S.As a parent, I like that they emphasize attending 4-year institutions straight out of high school. They offer plenty of workshops on applying, financial aid, and scholarships. As students, I know my kids do stress about the amount of homework and the Common Core Curriculum. They also mention that many students are disrespectful and sometimes loud in class. I was able to attend Parent Visitation Day a couple of times and did notice a few students disrupting class, but nothing out of hand. Overall I believe this is a great school, if your son/daughter is very driven and likes to be academically challenged, this is their school.

worst school ever ! honestly i don't like olympian high school the teachers are really bad , olympian expects a lot from one to the point where its just to much stress I'm really done of olympian sadly i can't change schools because supposedly its the best in the district yeah its true but its because they stress the students way to much to the a point where its just bad , if you have a chance not to go to olympian don't go because its a bad school theres like 4 good teacher out of like 25 i would say or more , one half are really strict teachers that treat you like college students and will give you 1 packet of 8 pages per day , I'm a freshmen and get homework for each class , then less than the other half are teachers who don't care at all but students, you might think thats good but believe me its not because they won't just give you A they will expect you to do all good even though they don't even teach at all so when it comes to test you are doomed , so good luck dear students who parents think olympian is a good school for you only because its rated number 1 in the district , its not about the school its about the persons who want to succeed in life and be someone in life
