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.

My favorite part of leesville is the amount of activities there are to use to connect with others in the community. On the other hand, the food here is horrendous. Of course all public schools are that way now because of a certain someone, but it's especially troubling here in leesville because of the amount of homeless or less fortunate kids we have here in leesville. A lot of students here only get the option to eat day by day through the school and that's all they have.

The Leesville High School experience is a pretty good overall. You will learn how to connect with Military Connected Students, but the diversity inclusion can a bit better.

Leesville is a great school, and it is honestly the best in the area. I wish there were more ways that students could prove their academic strength, I was not academically challenged there.

While I can't compare my LHS experience to any other high school (it's the only one I attended), I feel like I got a decent education. LHS offered a great variety of classes compared to the other high schools in the parish. The student body was also the most diverse of all the schools in the parish....

My husband and I both graduated from LHS (He is C/O 98, I'm C/O 00) and we have purposely avoided being stationed at Fort Polk because we do not want either of our children going through Vernon Parish Schools. Mine was the last class to graduate before the uniforms so I'm not at all familiar with ho...
