Oread is one of the neighborhoods that form the heart of Lawrence. Along with East Lawrence, Old West Lawrence, and the University of Kansas, this charming part of Lawrence has it all. There is a diverse rental market that includes modern apartment developments and rentals in more historic buildings closer to the downtown area. A walkable neighborhood layout lets residents easily access the restaurants and arts and culture scene of the city. Because of its college-town vibe, there are also plenty of nightlife options in this part of Lawrence. The historic Oread Hotel anchors the central portion of the neighborhood. Oread is roughly 42 miles from the heart of Kansas City, but this Lawrence neighborhood feels like it can stand all on its own.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
