"This school actually deserves less than a star. Everyday I see this school from three points of view. The Regular, Honors and A.P classes. The A.P classes are great, the teachers understand what their teaching, the help the kids move along and the kids who are not up to the challenge are removed from the class, so as not to disrupt the kids that are there to learn. The Honors classes are the same thing. Positive environment and progresssive work, no class clown causing the whole class to stay after school in a detention. The Regular classes are HORRIBLE. I truely advise that if you're a student or a parent of a student that is not above average (which is completely normal, they may not excell academically) please do not send them to this school. The kid will not learn any thing, the students are disruptful and selfish."

"This a wonderful school. It is the best kept secret in Boca Raton. The principal and administration are excellent. The school is an "A" rated school. The staff is wonderful and the school is incredibly safe. I know that when I send my son to school he is receiving a quality education in a safe and nurturing environment."

"As a current student at Olympic Heights, I would not recommend sending a child there. The tainted reputation has returned as the school dropped a letter grade. As far as the students go, few are on the road to success. Many children are exceedingly disrespectful to not only peers, but staff as well. The administration is often rude and barely helpful when dealing with students. Drugs and fighting are prevalent in the school. Overall, not a good environment."

"I am a grandparent of a student at Olympic Heights. My grandchild chose to stay at Olympic Heights even though she was accepted into an academic program at Spanish River. She is a very good student and wanted her academic studies in an atmosphere that was not filled with social status seeking. Olympic Heights seems to be that place, but that is not enough!!!! Why can't Olympic Heights become an 'A' school ? Why is on the brink of dropping to a 'C' ? Somethig has to be done to spark this school forward."

"Teachers are very nice, administration is run quite good, and the principal is very involved in everyday affairs. The students there are very good, and the staff makes you fell safe. Dress code is lenient, and that's a good thing, they don't freak out over minimal dress code issues. As far as learning, my FCAT scores have considerably increased since I joined Olympic Heights. I'm currently a sophomore, i cant even explain how great the school spirit is, and every year there are several fundraisers, and blood drives come at least once every 2 months, i strongly recommend Olympic Heights over any of the schools in Boca Raton, FL."
