Mathematics Department
Olympia High School requires two years of mathematics and the passing of the mathematics section of the WASL for graduation; however, with today's technical society and an increase in the entrance requirements of many colleges and universities, at least three years is recommended. Those students not passing the WASL math section must continue to take and pass appropriate mathematics courses until graduation or the passage of the WASL test.
The OHS mathematics program strives to have students progress at a pace that will balance an expedient increase in math background with a successful experience. As evidence of this goal OHS offers sequential course work ranging from Pre-Algebra to the intense two-year Advanced Placement Calculus sequence. Options also include A.P. Statistics, A.P. Computer Science, and courses designed specifically to help the student prepare for the WASL test.
All programs demand a high commitment on the student's part and a “B" or “C” grade or higher (depending on the course) is necessary for progression through the sequence. Entry-level placement is made through the combination of test scores and teacher recommendations. Since the OHS mathematics program is one of skill building, once placed, students are expected to follow the program in sequence.
