Blue Valley Unified School District (Overland Park)

• School District
• Overland Park, KS
• 61

Senior: Blue Valley has been amazing! I have had a great time joining all the different clubs that they offer, and enrolling in challenging AP courses. The different AP courses that we have is great because there are multiple in every subject, so if you excel in one subject, then you can take multiple AP courses. The diversity in the school is terrific and everyone is kind to one another. We set goals for our school and the students and staff work to make that happen. No bullying is one of our main goals, and I have seen this problem be resolved. The staff is very inviting, and you always feel comfortable asking them for additional help, or needing to talk to them about a personal problem. Overall my during the four years I have spent at Blue Valley, I have never considered transferring to another school. This is because I believe that Blue Valley has everything that anyone could want.

Alum: I was enrolled in the Olathe Unified School district from the time I was in Kindergarten in 2002 until I graduated high school in 2015. My time spent with the school district supplied me with ample experience and educational benefits. From having interactive teachers to participating in school sports, I was able to engage in various aspects. I thoroughly enjoyed my involvement with the school district. Thinking back, I do wish I would have been more heavily involved in different clubs and school activities. For future years, I desire to see greater adversitment and encouragement to stay engaged in non-academic activities in school as they prove fruitful in future jobs and education.

Sophomore: My school is Shawnee Mission North. I love my school. There are so many opportunities, so much diversity, so much love, we're just a big family. The teachers/staff care about your education. They want you to succeed. The effort the time they put in their students is unbelievable, it makes you feel like they actually care about not just you but your future. Freshman year they already start talking you to colleges, start teaching you how to get in,what you need and i love it! It helps to feel prepared. At North you will never feel left out. You will ALWAYS find that group of people that makes you feel like you belong. Of course its not all perfect and its going to be stressful and its going to be tough but the experience in high school the memories those are unforgettable. When you're stressed in school or don't understand something there is always people willing to help you out and teach you the way you learn best. I love my school, I love my family. I am proud to be an Indian.

Senior: Washburn Rural has been my home for several years now. I have grown up in a family who was rooted in the school district and we have always been very involved. I am now a senior and I have been able to leave my own mark on the school district and our community. The major thing I have learned while attending Washburn Rural is that being involved is what makes every experience worthwhile. Through this experience, I have found myself as a person and was able to affect my community as a whole. Washburn has given me several opportunities that I could not be more thankful for. I will forever be proud to say that I am a Jr. Blue!

Maize Unified School District

Senior: My experience in the Maize Unified School District will always follow me for the rest of my life in all sorts of great ways. I attended mostly Maize South Schools, which always felt secure and you never felt scared. There would always be a teacher right there for you. The academics were quite superior, I felt, to the encompassing Wichita School Districts. We have a high turn out for high level learning classes, with many students taking classes such as Calculus I, II, AP Literature, and such. The only problem was the food, which all students in the nation agree tastes quite bad, with the exception of a few meals. Over all, Maize has and will serve its students quite well, and will prepare them for the outside world.

Senior: Gardner Edgerton High School, is unlike any other High School I know. It is the type of school where you question yourself of whether or not you'll fit in but honestly, there is no worries about knowing everybody. Gardner Edgerton is a school where we don't discriminate, but we are well-known and very friendly to one another. We are the kind of school that does not tolerate violence or drugs of any sort. We are a very well taken care of school that focuses on our studies to help us better for the future. Everyone of our administrators care for every single one of us and we come together as one whole team. We are the Blazers!

Goddard Unified School District

Parent: Goddard schools are excellent!! You can get involved in many different activities. They have an outstanding band program as well as the choir and drama programs. Of course their educational expectations are high and they have a fantastic staff of teachers who genuinely care about their students. The one thing I would change is that I would like to see both of the high schools in the Goddard district being on the same page. One school requires finals, one doesn't, etc.

Senior: Hiawatha High School is a great, small town school. The teachers are top notch and do an excellent job of preparing students for the rigors of college. Of course, with any small school, there are some opportunities students miss out on. However, in the long run, I wouldn't trade my experiences at HHS.

Senior: I liked how everyone works together and wants to be a community. I do not feel completely safe there with new events. Our sports team are very good we have a wide variety of clubs and organizations for people to do. We never have a dull afternoon. I wish they worried more about their students and less about their reputation. The school's percentage of graduation rates is very high and does not decrease. Our entire school gets involved in everything from deaths to clubs our community never stops helping each other. Even though our school has some flaws it is still a very close community that never quits helping each others.

Silver Lake Unified School District

Senior: Silver Lake is a small school; therefore, there is a lot of one-on-one time between teachers and students. I think that this factor alone is a major reason that students at Silver Lake are so successful. There are not a lot of cliques because of the size, everyone is friends with everyone. Teachers push students to achieve their greatest potential and students strive to succeed.

Parent: My children got a very good education at Derby High School. They were prepared for the next step of their life. Some things that I did not like were that there was a lot of money poured into sports and band. The students who were not athletic but into the performing arts did not see as much support as those in sports, especially football. I also wish the class size was a little smaller.

Senior: I've spent three years attending Blue Valley, and it's been the best time of my life. The teachers and staff, as well as the students, provide an environment that feels like home. It's an exceedingly small 1A school, but it's full of big personalities. I've had more resources here than at a 4A school. I've been given opportunities through Blue Valley I wouldn't have gotten at any other district. My experience with the Blue Valley school district has been priceless and filled with many great memories. Great school, ran by great people, in a great community.

Senior: I absolutely enjoyed the variety of classes available in the curriculums offered in the schools. Especially in the high school area. I've enjoyed the varied class sizes and period lengths. One main area I would like to see improved is in Math and Science courses I would like to see the instructors provide more hands on practice in class and provide students with some real life usage examples of the concepts being taught.

Pittsburg Unified School District

Alum: I really enjoyed going to school here, I went to west side elementary 1st through 5th grade. I went to PCMS 6th through 8th and then off to high school at PHS; now I’m attending Pitt State University as a freshmen. My favorite part was the relationship I formed with my coaches, teachers, and friends. There are a lot of supportive people trying to promote a better lifestyle and future for every kid in this district. If you need help financially, educationally, or with home life there is always a supportive soul at my school. They academics can be challenging if you push yourself to try the advanced college level classes or join the honor society. Meanwhile the sports are amazing it’s very family oriented and you meet and grow with some amazing people while making your school standout in the country whether Iran our yearbook with national recognition or our football players who are attending D-1 schools.
