Olympia High School Reviews


Posted By: student Quality Score: decline 2008-06-10 “I have been to 4, count them, four high schools and have transferred high schools 5 times. I have been to Dr. Phillips and Olympia, I have been to Brevard County and I am now currently enrolled at Freedom High, and the only one that I would return to in a heartbeat is Olympia. The teachers care a lot about the students that they are reaching, and though I do not currently agree with the principal in power, the administrators have been nothing but tolerable and sometimes even helpful!! The Drama department is amazing at this school and the teacher of the department is the single most kind, welcoming, nonjudgmental, and inspiring man I have ever met in my entire educational career. And I have NOT seen a school ANYWHERE with as much school spirit as there is at Olympia. It is a genuinely amazing place to go.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-02-15 “It's awesome! I love it so much. It is really cool and educational. I really like and wish I could have done high school 5 times!” Posted By: student Quality Score: 1 2007-11-24 “anyone noticing a pattern in the reviews? its overcrowded, the kids are horrible, the teachers just don't care. honors are way too easy, i have less work than my friends at Dr. phillips in regular. everybody goofs off in class, teachers can't control them. the schools only been open 6 years, and its crazy! The kids are very snobby, most grew up toghther and don't want to be friendly to new people.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2007-09-22 “Olympia is in a struggle stage. We put our son in for a year and half. In that time, he went through 2 principals, 2 ADs, and 3 guidance counselors. Sports are weak. Classes are overcrowded. Honors teachers were weak. But, the AP instructors are very good.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-08-27 “I have a senior who has enjoyed almost four years at Olympia. I have been impressed with the teacher involvement in the academics. Olympia has a growing sports & music foundation, as it is still a young school. As for the people [concernedj with] inequality among the races, I haven't seen that. Olympia has a very diverse population, but I think that learning is first set in the home, and that the students will do best by what is taught at home. I have been pleased with what Olympia has been able to teach my children, and would recommend it over other high schools in Orange County.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 1 2007-08-25 “The teachers were mostly good. We have only 2 lunchs, and they are packed. The hallways are so small, and people at lockers take up at least half of every hallway. Classes are full to bursting, and running out of chairs. All of my classes have over 30 kids. we lost homecoming last year. sad. I am a junior this year and can't wait to graduate and move out of state.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2007-07-17 “We had two difficult teaching issues last year. Engineering did not have the equipment. They kids watched videos 2-3 times a week. One teacher was out sick more than in and there was no consistent subsitute who could keep the kids on track for a class that had an end of the year county exam. Now my child wonders if he is prepared for the next level.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2007-07-16 “I absolutely love Olympia. The teachers and administration staff are really great.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2006-09-01 “Olympia is one of the best high schools I have been to. The teachers and students are very welcoming and the school makes you enjoy waking up in the morning for school.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2006-08-16 “i am a freshman at olympia and i just love how thier are so many nice kids. and the techers are great.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-08-07 “As a parent to 3 OHS students I see first hand the level of care and involvement OHS has given to each of my diverse learners. Our family is involved and spends a great deal of time planning,working and investing hours on campus and off. Our pricipal Mr. Avossa has met each of our sons on the field and in the classroom. Our teachers devote themselves wholeheartely to mastery level. This school works hard, plays hard & discipline is a must among all learning communities. We beleive our senior has been prepared for college and will succeed in life b/c of his daily training OHS. We Love Susan and Ellie what a delightful team they are to greet visitors at the front door.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2006-07-23 “I think that Olympia is a beautiful school,n but not all the people that work there are beautiful...especially administration. They feel that they are better than any other Orange County Public School, and lose good staff for silly reasons.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2006-06-18 “Excellent sports programs, coaches. Facility is beautiful and easy to navigate. Curriculum and teachers lackluster. Classes overcrowded. Too diverse of a student base; kids from poverty level income to billionaire family's.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2006-06-15 “The school is marginal at best. The administration and staff are marginal at best. This school has all the fluff and no substance. It has the character of a big city school and all of the problems that go with it. After numerous requests for assistance we received absolutely no assistance. I would not recommend this school to anyone. It is the most marginal school I have seen in 10 years.” Posted By: teacher Quality Score: 5 2006-06-08 “Academically the school was great - The teachers were by and large an experienced group capable of inspiring their students to learn. There were a wide variety of extra curricular activities available and the school has had a lot of success with its' sports programs for a relatively new school. There is an excellent level of parental involvement and participation.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2006-02-10 “Overall, I feel that Olympia High School is a good school academically; although, they lack student and parent support, communication, and alternatives for students who lose interest in education.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-01-27 “My daughter and son, a Junior and a Freshman respectively, attend Olympia High School and absolutely love it. The classrooms are clean, the teacher's friendly, and the whole atmosphere is wonderful!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2006-01-11 “My grouse is not with the school's academic, music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities programs, but the racist teachers. I guess the parents who gave the good reviews are white. They have no clue what the minorities at olympia go thru. Get a grip folks, most of olympia high school teachers are racist, so new parents be aware of this, be very aware. They are however a few of the minority teachers that are fantastic. My daughter attended olympia and she was accused of so many different things, it was amazing. I agree with the parent that wrote she thought she was going to war every time she goes to ohs. Even my color was questioned with lifted eye brows. I volunteered my drivers license so they can see the last names were the same - same of you folks that turn a blind eye.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2005-11-03 “Good school....Hasnt been open long but very nice and clean and good teachers” Posted By: student Quality Score: 3 2005-10-02 “Olympia is a school that is very prominent on the social classes of the people. It is very much like a school you would see in any Hollywood movie. Every person has a role, and can not step out of their social class.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2005-08-20 “This school only seems interested in high grades,and the principle only wants the school to look good to the general public,but the previous principle cared,and took interest in her students,there are quite a few racist teachers who have belittled my children,and when you request a meeting with staff members to discuss the issue,you are made to feel that your child has a problem,as they refuse to admit that it exsists.teachers,and staff members only help the kids they like,and i always felt i was going to battle when i had to visit the school for any reason,as even the office staff could be cold and unhelpful,its a shame that such a fantastic building,cannot be shared equaly amongst all races” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 3 2005-07-19 “This school is only worried about the score the school gets and really doesn't let the students have any real freedoms. Also the staff are really just not helpful. But they do have a good wrestling and golf program.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-06-29 “Olympia provides an excellent forum for student development - in the arts, core subjects, and AP and Honors classes. Olympia's students excel in all fields, and the school consistently scores well in all measurements taken. The faculty is solid - good, committed teachers whose first priority is their students. Great band and choral programs. Although a strong academic school, Olympia also stresses physical activity. Students excel in all sports. Great school, great teachers, terrific location, and an attractive and well-designed campus! What more could you ask” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2003-07-16 “It was a blessing the day rezoning was done. My son has a greater level of self-confidence, inspired by the Staff at Olympia. He has every opportunity to excel. Extra curricular activities are well organized and supervised. Olympia has made great achievements in its short life span.” Posted By: Quality Score: 5 2003-06-18 “We are so pleased with the quality of education available at Olympia High School. The APEX program is wonderful. The emphasis on high achievement by the administration and faculty is absolutely fantastic. The facilities are modern and attractive. There are numerous opportunities for extra-curricular activities.”
