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.

My high school experience was kind of like anyone else, but a little different I had my laughs and some bad days some worst than others.

I think Leake Central High School is a pretty good school. Some of the teachers are willing to go above and beyond to help students with anything they may need help with, some aren't. I would like Leake Central to take the students on more class-based fieldtrips so we can get a better understanding of the lessons. I would also like to see the votech invest in more classes like law, dance, music, and cooking.

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
