Summary

Olympia High in Orlando, FL, is a large traditional public high school serving 2,901 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Orange County Public School District, located in a moderately affluent area where 28.6% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Olympia High stands out as a stable, mid-tier performer with a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and a strong graduation rate of 95.1%, which is well above the district (92.7%) and state (92.2%) averages. However, the school shows a clear academic paradox: while it excels in US History (76% proficient) and Biology 1 (73% proficient), it struggles significantly in Algebra 1, where only 40% of students are proficient—dramatically lower than nearby Windermere High (66%) and the district average (63%). This suggests the school's instructional strengths may lie in content-heavy, reading-based subjects rather than abstract math. Another major concern is chronic absenteeism, which sits at 45.6%—higher than the district (35.2%) and state (31.4%) averages, though it's part of a broader pattern across western Orange County high schools, with Dr. Phillips High at 52.7% and Windermere at 49.5%.

Compared to its direct competitors, Olympia spends the least per student at $8,445, slightly below Windermere High ($8,656), West Orange High ($8,808), and Dr. Phillips ($8,855). On a positive note, the percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch has dropped sharply from 47% in 2022-2023 to 28.6% in 2024-2025, indicating a shift in the attendance zone's demographics that could support future academic gains. The school's future trajectory will likely depend on addressing its Algebra 1 proficiency and chronic absenteeism challenges to climb back to the 4-star rating it achieved in 2017-2018.

I have to laugh at the other poster for thinking they received unjustified punishment. They probably wore a skirt that didn't cover their ... and got dress code. Olympia is a great school with good upper level teachers. We had over 30 students go to UF, including myself, this last year, 2011. Our salutatorian went to Cornell. There is an abundance of idiots, but they are pretty well contained in the "stupid hallways". One last thing, if your child is intelligent don't feel they need to go into APEX, it has absolutely no benefits. I loved Olympia and i challenge anyone who didn't to come up with a specific reason.

Very bad school.

Bad regulations for behavior, which leads to unjustified consequences for minor and personal behavior unrelated to the school or county.

Do not send your child to Olympia, and if possible; not even an orange county school should be considered for your child. Close Quote
