GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The diversity in Olathe North and the willingness of teachers to help their students has greatly impacted me and my future when looking past high school!

I love Olathe North. Going there was one of the best decisions I have ever made, as I only went because of the 21st Century Sports medicine program. I met people I would never have met if i had gone to my home school , and I am so so grateful for it!

I have been attending Olathe North for a semester now and I have mostly positive things to say. I am part of a political science program that is perfect for me and my interests and has connected me to some amazing and unique people. I have only great things to say about the teachers and staff you can tell they truly care about you as an individual and offer amazing help and new perspectives. I feel very connected to the other students and the school offers lots of cubs and activities for a wide range of interests. The worst parts of the school are all downsides because of its massive size. Some classes have too many students and its hard to get 1 on 1 time with the teacher. The administration also struggles to build connections with students because of how many there are. Overall I love going to school here and would highly recommend Olathe North to anyone.

I went to north and I have had an amazing experience everyone says bad things about north but it has taught me so much.

I have visited Olathe North as a Special Education substitute. Although I have only worked with a handful of teachers, the ones I have observed are some of the best I have ever seen. The teachers at ON are very competent in their subjects, and know how to explain things clearly to their students. Th...

Very few schools can say the same things that North can in terms of outstanding teachers, great community involvement and support, and a safe and comfortable feel within the hallways. I would like to say that North may have a reputation and does have quite a bit more diversity, but hey thats the rea...

I attended Olathe North and loved it. It has an undeserved reputation as compared to the "richer" schools in the Olathe school district, but anyone with first-hand experience knows the reality. Olathe North's has character and its diversity only adds to that. The atmosphere and sense of community is...
