This is an overall great school. If you want to get ahead faster it is good with dual enrollment. You really fall in love with the teachers, but the environment isn't very positive most of the time.

Although there are always room for improvements, the direction the school district is taking is going to showcase the benefits of the school and also the ability to attract and meet the needs of current and new students.

This school is miss guided when engaging with the children and parents they are in full compliance with passing kids whom academics and ability to go to the next grade level is not there, Leap academy in our opinion is about reputation instead of education first.
