I am at Olathe North and all I can say is its reputation doesn't fit the school. The atmosphere is amazing! You can walk into Olathe North and realize that there is something different about it. There is unity within diversity and a unity between teachers and students. Unlike the other Olathe schools, North allows students to be around ALL types of people. It also has amazing teachers! They all really want to be there and help students prosper. All the teachers are personable and caring, and I know that I, sincerely, care for all of mine. There are issues just like any high school has but the way that they are taken care of between the administrations, teachers, and students are phenomenal. T
Olathe north is a very diverse high school. There are so many different countries represented at North. With a diverse high school you would think that the school was good at cultural representation in the classes. They re not. They don't go out of their way to encourage minorities into taking honors classes or being more involved in school. But they do love school spirit. When there are sporting events a whole ton of students show up in the themes. Friday night light football games are the best. We have a great football team. We went to state multiple times and we won this most recent time. The students are not too bad. But, I wouldn't try and talk about "sensitive topics" because that will not get you in a great place.. if you know what I mean. Overall North is probably the best high school. It might not be new and shiny but never count out the old guy!
Overall, I like my high school! All of the teachers I've had have been phenomenal. They are all extremely kind-hearted and helpful! One thing I would like to see change in my school is more intermixing of the social groups. The school is split into two groups: the students in 21st Century Academies and those that came because North is their feeder school. There is hardly any communication between these two "social classes," and this should change! Other than that, I have been very pleased with my 2 1/2 years at North.
