Olympia High School Reviews
Rating 3.87 out of 5 793 reviews
Olympia overall has been an outstanding high school experience, from the students and teachers, to the different events and celebrations. Having the first year of your high school experience be completely altered with an pandemic was not something any of us had in mind, but Olympia pushed through and Freshman year will be something to remember - for better or worse. In my experience, the teachers at Olympia are hit or miss - you could go from a very passionate, inspiring, life-changing teacher in one period, to a teacher who the students all believe should never have been a teacher. The same goes for all the different school events; the sports games were another world of enjoyment, and so were some of the different art performances, but there were a few events that could have had more effort put into them. Overall, the school is an amazing experience that tops many others that I’ve heard of, but it could definitely see some improvement.
I spent all four years of high school at Olympia and I enjoyed it a lot. The biggest reason is the number of opportunities that are given at the school. There are several AP classes, a few dual enrollment options, trade classes such as culinary and agriculture, many sports, even more clubs, and fantastic programs. The education there is also pretty good, and compared to other schools there is a lot on campus that's conducive to a successful learning environment. It is in a good area and there is a good amount of safeguards to make people feel secure. The campus itself looks good and it is fairly easy to navigate. Most of the teachers and staff there are nice and do their jobs. They make it feel like they want you to succeed, and they have a lot of support for students there. There are a lot of events done with clubs, sports, and the arts that help to give every student a chance to find their place in the school. The students do feel important here which is necessary for a good school.
Through the four years that I have studied here, I have grown more accustomed to high standards and expectations. Multiple courses, especially AP classes and dual enrollment, allowed me to create more experience in being prepared for college. However, there was a lack of involvement from teachers and guidance counselors, and I felt lost at times and was not given attention. Nevertheless, as the first person in my family to attend college, I was able to apply and be accepted into a few prestigious schools.
