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.

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 has been a good school overall. I have plenty of friends and I have had great teachers. The classes offer lots of college credit and I am grateful for the opportunities I have been given. I do think that something should change about the fights that happen often at this school.

Overall, my experience at Lee's Summit North High School has been an interesting and educational ride. I have had lots of fun going to football games and school dances, connecting with the school community. My classes have also challenged me in a way where I could learn without being stressed.

Through four years of high school I have had good and bad moments with Lee's Summit North. Our schools safety was very questionable for about two years with outbreaks of fights causing students and teachers harm. However, I have had really great teachers at our school who do their job really well and care for their students.

Like all schools there are good and bad teachers but in my experience at Lee's Summit North most of the teachers are enthusiastic and knowledgeable about their subjects. The bad teachers are the outliers. This school has a lot of great programs and things to be evolved in. The administration has its...
