In an all-inclusive manner, it was a school of unadulterated mediocrity: the school building was architecturally mesmerizing, and the preponderance of the teachers and staff were affectionate and magnanimous. This institution, on the other hand, has had several deficiencies that may be problematic to comprehend. You are arbitrarily authorised to patronize specializations that are unsuitable for your priorities, and there are students who consistently cause such uncivilized controversies and dilemmas because a significant portion of teachers and staff are argumentative vexatious, and full of authoritarianism, entrepreneurial to acquire their own remuneration and equitable treatment.To contextualize, this school is pure vanilla material: I do not recommend going to school because of the undisciplined and combative children, discourteous staff personnel, and abusive supervisory whining.

Went to Olsen Middle School 17 years ago when it was an "A" rated school and properly ran. Do NOT send your kids here, they learn absolutely nothing. The front office is always in disarray. You have students compulsively cussing right in front of administrative in the front office, which not one word was ever said to any students doing so. They will have teachers fill in "Z" (as in zero) days before an assignment is even due to show what will happen if you don't do your work. With COVID-19, they presumed my son had it wouldn't allow back as protocol, teachers were aware and refused to take off zeros the days he was protocoled to stay home; it required principal attention who said she tried explaining to the teacher he was out but wanted to argue about the grade. Not sure who really runs what in the school. Bullying is the worst, son shoved, things stolen like folders for school, and notebooks ripped by other students. The school admitted it happened with hope scholarship form and then retracted the story the day I went in for transcripts with a final notice by brushing it under the rug as not effecting academically or happened off campus, which was a lie altogether. My child makes good grades and is high test performer, held honors classes. Naturally they lose funding and tried to trap him in there, the moment I informed them he's leaving by hope scholarship. Luckily for me that one form they sent the first time before retracting was able to get my son out of there and approved of scholarship money. I am extremely happy my son is leaving. Every single day there is multiple teachers missing, that apparently the substitutes cannot even take proper attendance on. Homework is non-existent, and most teachers won't update a grade for weeks at a time or are behind schedule. Honestly, I can see why the kids are they way they are and run that school there is zero oversight of leadership. The day I went to withdraw my son, some child in the school had called 911 and police on campus had called it off knowing which student did it. The school is out of control and should be investigated from the top down! The leadership is zero, I personally had to attach teachers to emails because, the administrative never notified any teachers of the bullying whatsoever so they could keep an eye out. The best day of my child's life was when I ripped him out of a school that will soon be on the "F" list. I repeat take the option of school choice and take your kids elsewhere.

One out of 10 I would give it a one because all we do is sit on computers I haven’t seen any real real work it’s just stupid I wouldn’t suggest sending your child here unless you want them to lose their eyesight and not to the learn anything

We transferred from Hollywood Arts snd Scirnce last year snd are still here. We love the school and the teachers and staff are an instrumental reason why.

Horrid school. I was a former student and they do little for their students. Bullying was an often sight and teachers usually ignored it. Not to mention there were many gangs well known within the school and it's student population. Teachers also did little to push their kids to really reach their potential. Very lazy and the curriculum was dumbed down.
