I have attended Leake Central for 4 years, I will graduate from here. There are many things I like and dislike about the school. I love that there are so many things students can be involved in, but there's no student involvement, Leake Central's students have no school spirit. I don't like that the school is so strict, with tardies and absences. There's barely any student and teacher hands-on time, because class is usually disrupted.

Great school, but I wish the students had more school spirit and cared about each other more. Discipline is not adequate. We lost our assistant principal at Christmas and Mr. Burns cannot handle everything on his own. I do not think our Board or Superintendent really backs our principals the way they should. We never see them and most students do not even know who our superintendent of education is or who is on our board.

This school is basically focused on sports only and the athletes. Any other school clubs or anything they have to do their own funding just to do things in the club and to go places cause the school won't pay
