Summary

Olathe North Senior High is a grades 9–12 public school in Olathe, Kansas, serving 2,011 students. Its results are mixed: students are above the state in English language arts (ELA) and math, but below it in science. The most important contrast is math: North is ahead of the state, yet ranks last among the five Olathe high schools compared.

ELA is North’s strongest subject relative to both the state and local peers: 52% of students were proficient, compared with 46% statewide and 59% in the Olathe district; North ranked third among the five local schools, just below their 54% average. Math proficiency was 43%, above the state’s 41% but well below the district’s 58% and the local peer average of 49%; North ranked last locally. In science, North’s 32% was below the state’s 38% and district’s 46%, but nearly identical to the other Olathe schools’ average, placing it second locally.

ELA and math have improved substantially since 2022–23, rising 20 and 21 percentage points, respectively; both moved from below the state to above it. Science has changed little, while the state rate rose, leaving North below the state. SchoolDigger ranks North at the 72nd statewide percentile and awards it four stars for 2025–26. Its student-teacher ratio, 14.2, is the lowest among the five Olathe schools, while its free/reduced-lunch rate, 40%, is the highest, compared with a 22% average at the other four. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for Hispanic students rose from the 26th to the 52nd percentile over two years, though it remains below North’s overall ranking; the ranking for students with low socioeconomic status rose from the 20th to the 47th percentile. Chronic absenteeism also improved, from 25% to 22%, but remains above the district’s 13% and the state’s 18%.
