My experience at Leeds high school was a good one, while I played sports like football and ran track the athletics there was top tier for me. Majority of my teachers were great helpers and were always open minded to listen , Leeds high school never had any flaws for me to really complain about except for the lunch food at times but my overall experience was great.

The lunch food is actually terrible. The vending machines never work and never have anything good because it's all "diet." Some of the teachers are truly not the best people so you will never have a perfect lineup of teacher. There will always be one that is not nice to you and that ruins your day. Not a bad school tho overall. Better than Moody I can guarantee you that.

I was a student at Leeds High School my freshman and junior year of highshool. The school is very diverse. I would like to see a change in the hiring of the teachers. A lot of the teachers at Leeds High School show racist tendencies towards the black students at the school.

I currently go to LHS and it is the best school all around in the Birmingham area if you ask me. The education is really valued and lack of discipline is not tolerated whatsoever. The teachers really try to push each student to excell in their best subject and work hardto improve their worst. We get...
