Olympic Middle School

My son just started school here, and I think we made the biggest mistake bringing him here. From the first day it was utter chaos. The principle nor the vice introduced themselves to my husband or I and they had no idea what to do with my son the first day. Then they had lots of kids they would scold right in front of us. The teachers have no control of these kids and I think after 2 weeks I'm looking at my options to release him from this school. Please take this as a warning.

We have two daughters. One just finished her time at the school last year. She is now going to a Kent High School. I kept asking the teachers last year if she was prepared for all her honors classes in high school. As it turns out, math she had to retake Algerbra 1 & 2 and after just six weeks, she was learning something new. The only response I got when I informed to school was sorry about that the teachers were lacking. Hopefully they have improved that situation for our daughter that remains there.

I am an 8th grader at oly. On the cougar crew. I agree that teachers need to notice the more obvious stuff. Texting in class, the fighting in the halls. It gets hectic. All though we have after school activities, not everyone feels they can par-take in most or all the activities during and after school. Pep assemblies. We can work on those. Besides all the negative attitude, oly is a pretty okay place and invites all students to be good learners, better friends, and be able to differentiate themselves. :]

My 6th grader has had a really rough time adjusting to middle school. She was an exceptional 5th grader but is finding the lack of consistency and the larger class sizes a challenge. She has been physically injured 3 times this year by other kids with the school staff not taking any action to correct the offenders until I had called to demand corrective action be taken.
