For example, Phillip O Berry Academy of Technology and Harding University High School, both public magnet schools, have similar or lower academic performance compared to Olympic High School, despite serving a higher percentage of minority and economically disadvantaged students. On the other hand, Myers Park High School and South Point High School have significantly higher academic performance and rankings compared to Olympic High School, despite serving a more diverse student population. These comparisons suggest that Olympic High School faces unique challenges that may require targeted interventions and resource allocation to improve student outcomes.
