Olathe South has previously been known as a racist school. Although we have gotten better i wouldn't say its gone, and some of the blame has to be on the staff and other administrators who ignore the problems going on.

It's a good school. You will find your place one way or another . They are always ready to try their best and help student's meet their potential. They have 21 Century academies that help students set up their future and it's a place where you really learn and grow. You will learn a lot about yourself here and meet some amazing people.

I have attended Olathe South High School for four years. It is a diverse atmosphere with inclusivity to all. Our athletics are well managed and have great athletes to participate in them. The food provided could improve, but it is not poorly assembled or served. The college preparation is not a priority to share with students. They have resources set up for students but do not inform students about any of the tools.
