Summary

Olympus Academy is a public high school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 178 students. Despite its higher spending per student and relatively small class sizes, this school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York high schools and has received low ratings from SchoolDigger, indicating poor performance compared to other schools in the state.

Olympus Academy struggles with low graduation rates, ranging from 41.1% to 84.3% in recent years, and high dropout rates, ranging from 4.5% to 6.8%, which are significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school also experiences high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 31.5% to 75.7%, much higher than the state and district averages. Proficiency rates on Regents/Common Core exams are generally lower than the state and district averages across various subject areas, and the school's performance on various student subgroups, such as female, male, African American, English Language Learners, Special Education, and low socioeconomic status students, is consistently lower than the state and district averages.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the same district, such as Cultural Academy for the Arts and Sciences, Kurt Hahn Expeditionary Learning School, It Takes a Village Academy, and High School for Medical Professions, also have low statewide rankings and ratings, similar to Olympus Academy. These nearby schools generally have slightly better graduation rates, lower dropout rates, and lower chronic absenteeism compared to Olympus Academy, but their test scores are still below the state and district averages, suggesting a systemic issue within the New York City Geographic District #18.
