Olympus Junior High School
Laura Wilkin: Very good school with the highest state testing scores in the region. Classrooms incorporate techonology, through the use of Promethean boards, iPad carts, etc. The school encourages students to be independent and responsible for their own results. Teachers post homework assignments on the school website every day, which is helpful for both parents and kids. Great communication from the school through weekly email blasts.

Olympus Junior High School
I've never seen a middle school as good as Olympus Jr. High. My son attended there for 8th grade. It was fabulous. The care both the teachers and the staff put into the students is felt by everyone. They hold high standards of conduct and dress, which also helps children to concentrate on learning. The wood shop and cooking classes are above even some high schools that I've seen. Both my son and I love this school.
