Horrible experience. Awful communication problems. Don’t bring your kids here. Only one of the teachers seemed to put any effort into our kids. Started off the year like you’d expect, then by second day they told us the my had to put our kids on half days. Pressed us into seeking services, then by the time we received them they told us that there was no spots open for them, so had to seek out a new school for my kids. New school has been great with my kids so far, and they’re actually thriving now, just goes to show level of competency at Cottonwood.

I am currently attending this school and I enjoy going here. The staff and teachers are really nice and understanding. There are many elective classes including an AVID class and a class that will try to prepare students for the future. There's a lot of great people here!

Front desk staff and administrators are extremely unprofessional as compared to Central kitsap High School, Klawhowya High and other schools our military family has experienced out-of-state. They do not encourage parental involvement and actually resist parental involvement directly contradicting district district policies. They selectively enforce rules, do not adhere to District policies and are retaliatory and hostile when you ask for policy clarification.If you just want your child to graduate and go into a trade, with the social environment with minimal accountability here, Olympic is probably adequate and they will enjoy school. However, by our experience this is not a good school for college prep. Classrooms can be extremely disruptive and the children are not held accountable, much like the office staff in their disturbing condescending treatment of parents (experienced and observed).It’s very hit and miss with the teachers. Most are very nice, but I question their experience connecting and educating on a diverse level it is critical for a high school educator.I have significant experience as a volunteer at my children’s schools…Olympic High school is not a well run school and the education is disturbingly subpar.If your child’s education matters to you, I highly suggest exploring another option. If you don’t care, you don’t care.
