Program Overview
Rancho's Science Olympiad is run as an elective. The team, which consists of 7th and 8th graders, is selected through a series of tests based on the different Science Olympiad events and event categories. It practices both during and after school with past alumni, teachers, and partners in preparation for competitions. This team is relatively new and slowly improving in its results.
In the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 seasons, team meetings and coaching sessions were held virtually due to COVID restrictions. The overall team was selected through tryouts, with the A and B teams decided by invitational results.
