Olathe High School is in a small town. The students aren't offered the best of the best but we are offered the best of a small town! The students are a very close knit community and everyone is friendly to each other.

New principal is absolutely rude. Has no respect. And loves to put kids down just for his pleasure. Wouldn’t recommend going there nobody wants to look at his big nose anyway.

Two of my children graduated from Olathe High School and one is currently attending; I couldn't choose a better school and am very pleased with the positive outcomes in life my children have endured when dealing with academics.

I talked to a young man today who graduated from Olathe High. He got a full scholarship to a University in Kansas. enough said. Go Olathe!!! not a parent just checking reviews. um, when a young person says full scholarship, that is impressive.

This school appears to me to be an unfortunate example of "the rising tide of mediocrity".
