Overall it is pretty good for a public school. The teachers and staff are normally really supportive and helpful. However, it is really small so the relationships between the students are a little toxic.

The community is great but the quality of teaching definitely leaves something to be desired all around. There are a few really great teachers, but most are either not incredibly knowledgeable about their subject or just do not seem equipped to effectively teach the material to their students.

My experience at Leicester high has been good, good education, they food is alright, a lot of clubs to join and you could make a club if you can't find one to join. As a person of color, there weren't a lot of diversity starting my freshman year but compared to now it got better.

Differences between students such as gender, sexuality, race/ethnicity, etc. are weaponized through bullying and are not embraced. Diversity is awful;...
