I had a great time at Olathe Northwest, with many small communities to become part of. I am part of Olathe Northwest's Marching Band, and the community is quite large- I have been able to make my closest friends in the band. We spend days together outside of school at competitions and retreats, and I couldn't have been part of this community if I didn't feel welcome my freshman year. I consider this band and school home until I graduate and eventually find a new community to call home.

I have to say this is the best school ever! Obviously I'm biased since I am currently a student there but still. There are so many ways to get involved, anyone can find their niche at ONW. They have a wide variety of clubs where anyone can find something they love. Other than a stereotype for being...

I have two sons who have attended ONW in the E-Comm program. This school is wonderful. The students are enthusiastic learners, and the teachers seem to really enjoy their jobs. My students enjoy going to school, are challenged, and comfortable at ONW. I also feel that it is a safe school, without ev...
