Kids vape in the restrooms, are able to leave campus without knowledge of any adult, fights on a regular basis. Their current principal is nonexistent, I had an IEP with the assistant principal, who seemed to be unfamiliar with the process. Ms armendariz is one of the worst teachers I've ever had the ability to meet. She'd rather match kids up, act like a teen, never responds to messages about your child's schoolwork, kids have to tell her when an assignment needs to be graded, will not honor IEP. When a child asks for something within their rights, she denies them and then openly discusses the fact the child has one. I have had 2 other kids go through middle school, this is by FAR the worst in the district. I expected WAY better, for schools east of the 805. Find another school, where the teachers are encouraging and willing to work with the parent.

Over the past four years, I’ve seen a noticeable decline in the environment at Olympian High School. The surrounding area has changed significantly due to rapid housing development, and with it, there’s been a rise in disruptive behavior. On multiple occasions, I’ve observed students loitering near elementary schools during school hours, engaging in activities such as smoking and using inappropriate language, with little concern for supervision.As someone who has lived in various parts of San Diego, I’ve seen the difference a safe, focused school environment can make. Unfortunately, Olympian no longer offers the same sense of security and academic focus it once did.If your priority is a learning environment that emphasizes safety, discipline, and strong academic culture, I would suggest researching other schools before making your decision.

My daughter transferred to this school and we could not be happier. The staff here truly cares about these children. The two teachers have had have been wonderful, kind, loving, empathetic, and highly effective teachers. We do not have enough positive things to say about the special ed team at McMillan. They are competent and provide excellent resources for students with learning disabilities and ADHD. This school feels very well equipped to support students at all levels. We were very nervous about transferring here from a small private school, but we truly could not have asked for a better experience.
