Olympic High currently has five principals and two assistant principals.
Olympic is one of a handful of high schools in CMS that straddle the line between a comparable number of low-performing, primarily urban schools and high-performing, primarily suburban schools, and thus its student body largely mirrors the district as a whole.

CMS' demographics are 42.4% Black, 36.2% White 4.3% Asian, 13.6% Hispanic and 3.5% Other. Its pass rate on the 2006-07 North Carolina End-of-Course tests, used to sample knowledge and mastery of subject areas most students take as freshmen and sophomores, was 63.2%, near the CMS average of 65.7%.
The graduating class of 2006, around 300 students, received $2.3 million in scholarships.
