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.

This school often gets bad publicity. However, my family has had nothing but great luck with the courses and staff in the past four years. I feel more than prepared for college, having taken challenging classes while enrolled at LV High School. I also felt encouraged to hold leadership positions and had great interactions with administration, who were visible and present.

I loved the diversity of the school, as well as the ability to make connections with the students and teachers, who foster their students' love for learning and motivate them to become the best version of themself.

It offers lots of extracurricular programs and advanced courses, which is fantastic for students looking to be involved. The facility is in good condition, and the JROTC program is one of the largest in the nation. Its lunches are not fantastic, and neither are the bathrooms, but other than that I have little to complain about.

There is very little learning. Loud, on cell phones, teachers loudly talking about students where everyone can here, students can do anything they want and nothing happened

Looking at attending Leavenworth High? DON’T. The administration doesn’t respond to parents. (phone calls and emails never returned, as well as activity telling parents lies when directly asked a question) The school ignores its own policies consistently, and chooses rather to place students in harm...

terrible, the school is emotionally terrible, at least 3 bomb threats per year, constant fighting is a very common thing, constant drug use among students, drug searches, favoritism, and uncaring teachers.

Leavenworth has strong acedemics and a great JROTC program. My girls are very happy and are not afraid to go to school.
