GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. 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.

Being a part of Leuzinger allowed me to reach a higher level of education through the Advanced Academics Academy. Being provided with a multitude of advanced placement and honors classes with amazing teachers has helped me discover my interest in certain careers like psychobiology through taking AP psychology and AP biology. Many resources are provided to us in need such as college support. Teachers have supported us throughout the years we are a part of the academy where we can find support and also reach out to those in need to network through letters of recommendation and future needs. The Advanced Academics Academy at Leuzinger High School has been one of the best support systems for entering a higher level of education.

I like the teachers and the methods they used to teach during class. There is usually a lot of communication which I like. The only negative is the schedule change from block to all period everyday.

Not so good of a reputation so it was scary to enroll my son here but it’s actually a great school. My son has told me he gets along very well and very little to none bullying you see. I’ve met the teachers they are very nice and so is the staff. Teachers are strict though but it’s a good school.

I'm currently attending this school and, highly believe it is amazing. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. My advice to you is to not pay attention to test scores because those don't indicate whether a school is good or bad. I love the variety of electives and academies available at Leuzing...
