The top district in Kansas right now is Olathe.

Also, I would beg to differ that Olathe is the top district! Shawnee Mission is getting a lot more families with poverty, but they maintain their high test scores. I would say Shawnee Mission and Blue Valley are the top districts. I have parents that left the Olathe district for the Shawnee Mission district. Shawnee Mission is dedicated to teaching ESL kids!
