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.

Overall a decent experience. Mostly good teachers who were helpful and good coaches and people to be around. Inclusion could have been a little better but not a terrible experience.

I have loved my four years at North! The teachers are amazing and the environment and community push you to be at your best if you are willing to take risks.

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.
