Do your research. Talk to the the superintendent about the different problems that have been faced in current years and how they dealt with them. They should be worthy of you and your child. I can say the teachers are great. The PTA cares about the children. Only when we left the school did we hear about other unsatisfactory events that were mishandled.

I have 2 kids attending Olita and my son is mentally handicapped and in special ed programs. The school handles the special ed kids inclusion so well and I really feel like the staff goes out of their way to make sure the NT kids show respect and friendship to the special kids. The principal is a level headed involved school leader. Problems w selfish parents cutting car lines etc at drop off and pick up but no wheres perfect.

Olita staff is awesome. The principal, the teachers, the instructional aides and the rest of the staff put the students and their well being first. The Special Ed program is exceptional. The SPED children are included in all activities with the general education students. The gen ed students always show care and compassion with the SPED students. This program helps the children learn many life lessons and gives the children a basis for becoming a productive adult. The staff puts positive characteristics as high a priority as academic performance. Olita builds well rounded students.

I give this school a 5+! The principal is amazing and truly shows how much she cares about our children. She is very involved in all activities and encourages teachers and parents to do so as well. She does not stop our children from being children. My son said to me recently how he really enjoyed his 4th grade class very much. The teacher made learning fun! He will be on his 3rd year at Olita and I absolutey love his experience and his growth thus far!
