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.

My time at Olathe South High School was very enjoyable. The best part was definitely the teachers and students, I believe that the interaction and friendliness was awesome. However, my freshman year was when COVID was in full force, so that wasn't as enjoyable.

My experience with Olathe South has been pretty good. The teachers were quite helpful throughout the time you are there, and the are lots of opportunities to become involved with the school. The school spirit is also on a different level. We had made the news for the most over the top student section at our home football games. However there wasn't much diversity between all the students.

Olathe South High School has been my school for the past 3 years. The best art about this school is how easy it is to start a new club or group. I was able to start a prayer group at my school so easily with staff support. The worst parts are seeing how some teachers get disrespected by students. It is very hard to witness. I would like to see more consequences for disrespectful behavior.
