I was bullied a lot by others, but I had some of the best teachers ever. My band director taught me…read moreso much and was my absolute most favorite teacher. Another staff member helped me with all of my math after the previous year I was with the wood shop teacher, and we got to build things to learn fractions. I still suck at fractions, but I loved that class. I also had an amazing science teacher who makes science fun, even when it's difficult. I was sad when on March 12, 2020, school was cancelled, and I only returned to give my things back, but not to learn. A math teacher bullied my entire class and constantly yelled at us, but I liked most of my other teachers.

We loved the staff, curriculum, and that our son always came home with something he had learned or created that day with a daily sheet of activities, food, etc. Each room has at least 1 long term staff member with a few that come and go being that it's a large military community which is expected. The director Renee is great as well with communication, dedication to the program, and I always saw her helping out all levels when I randomly stopped by or at pick ups. Even though my son has now started Kindergarten he frequently asks to visit his previous teachers. I'm so happy our son was able to attend M&M!

She helped me with all the paperwork to start my daughter's care (military family with childcare assistance). And my emails were always addressed promptly and all the staff were so approachable.

We were only there for 6 months due to a move. We miss this Martha and Mary and all the staff though!

She told me to stand up in front of my entire class to show them "how not to sing" knowing I had my wisdom teeth removed the day before. She was misogynistic, picked favorites and singled out the girls for laughing with each other before class. she said, "why would we expect men to respect us and not see us as objects when we act like that." Other than MRS KENT... Roosevelt was an amazing school.

But all I want to review here is the Fireside Bistro. It's a wonderful hidden cafe on campus, with fireplace and extra special Friday feasts. Breakfast is only from 8 to 10 am, and offerings range from basic to oh my isn't that fancy. Menu changes to lunch at 10 with a whole different array of choices. You gotta get there before 1 pm as they do close early. The quality has varied from year to year. Previously it was one of the best little restaurants in Bremerton, a real dream to take out-of-towners to. It's not THAT good presently but it's still pretty darned good. The menu is in continuous flux and sometimes what they have is superduper. It was also dirt cheap in the past, priced so even students could afford it. But nowadays both the Bistro, and the basic cafeteria, are tragically expensive. I presume some funding got cut, and hungry kids and teachers had to pick up the slack. I would not generally recommend the cafeteria though the hot-table isn't notorious cafeteria food; the culinary students do try to design interesting daily menus, but it still has to work on a hot-table, and it can be too limited, and they forget about the vegetarians on campus too often. The Bistro, though, is worth checking the on-line menu (at the Olympic College website) and if it sounds good then it will be good, and worth a trip over there even if you're not a student.

Paying out of pocket for school. Was told by Olympic College Records and Registration employee that…read moreI have to pay for parking. According to Security staff at Olympic College, I did not have to pay for parking. Parking is free in the summer. I was charged anyway for parking by the cashier while paying out of pocket for my classes. The Accuplacer Placement Exam is to see if I should take a certain Math course for Medical Assisting. The office where you could ask questions about the exam, closed at 1130am the day I was told to sign up for the test. I went online to sign up for the test and found out the fee was 25 dollars. Another out of pocket expense. Since the office was closed that handles the exam was closed: i put my credit card in the system and paid the 25 dollars. Unbeknownst to me, and because the office was closed, I did not know that the 25 dollars was not refundable. When I checked my calendar at home, I found out I had doctor appointments when the exam was to be taken. I immediately called the testing center at Olympic College to try and get a refund. No one answered the phone and of course no one was in the office. On the website for the 25-dollar Accuplacer test , there was not a warning that I would not get a refund if I canceled the test. The warning came after you had given the 25 dollar payment. I was shocked that an institution would not warn students beforehand. Becoming a Medical Assistant was my next goal after CNA program. When I talked to an employee who helped run the program, she told me that my previous courses taken at Olympic College would carry over to getting me a Medical Assistant certificate. When I met with the supervisor who was in charge of the program, her response took a negative tone. The supervisor told me that I would have to pay for all the classes over again. Being suspicious of her antics, I emailed the Dean of Olympic College. I got no response from the Dean. To me, this seems like a money grab. I am paying for my own college classes. I should not be paying to take the same classes over. Olympic College should ask the lawmakers to give them more money to stay open. Do not depend on students paying (out of pocket).

We don't have much family here, so it's nice to have our little village. Reading a couple reviews on here truly shocked me because that's definitely not the school feel here. The principal and the former principal are both fabulous, and the teachers genuinely care about their students. My son would need an IEP in public school, but he has so much support and a smaller class size. When he was having a rough week, his teacher even sent me updates throughout each day to reassure me. She also gave him alternative activities when he was struggling to sit still. I love that he can have his kick band and fidget toys if he needs them, and he gets plenty of recess, which is so important. I should add that I am a teacher and am picky when it comes to curriculum. I'm thrilled with my childrens' progress here. Both of my kids have been attending since the Beginner Preschool class, and my son is about to go into 1st grade, while my daughter is heading to Pre-K. My son is definitely ahead with certain areas of academics, and when he needs more of a challenge or extra support, he can go to the Learning Success Center. Last but not least, although the accommodations and academics are great, I have seen my kids grow so much in their faith. They come home singing worship songs, reciting Scripture, and growing in their knowledge and love for the Lord. This is so important to my husband and me. Hopefully this helped. Due to a couple negative reviews, I should add that our principal changed last year, and although the former principal is fabulous, Mr. Saunders is doing an awesome job. God clearly wanted him in the principal role.
