Hi - we are moving to Olathe in November and I'm looking for some information, opinions - whatever help I can get. We are most concerned about choosing a high school for our son and the crime rate in different areas. We are moving from Northern Virginia where the crime is terrible, so I'm thinking the crime would have to be less as we deal with significant gang issues here. We have a high schooler and a middle schooler. Thanks in advance for any responses

What can I do next?

Olathe Kansas? We may have the best crime rate for a city our size in the US!!

Olathe has a great school system. The high schools have different specialties as well as general education. It would probably depend on how old your son is, I don't know if transfer students can participate in the special programs or not. We live very near Olathe Northwest High School and my son really enjoys it.

I would be happy to answer any questions you have just send me a message. Do you have a specific area you've been looking at to live?

You will be very happy in Olathe. It's a growing city, great schools and the people are very friendly.

Much will depend on your budget. Olathe has beautiful subdivisions being built in the southern area. (You really need to find a good real-estate agent to take you around.)

Good luck with your move!

We live on the Northwest side of Olathe, so our kids will go to Olathe Northwest High School. We've heard great things about the high school. All of the Olathe schools are great! Olathe is one of the safest cities in the US!
