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.

The best part of my experience was taking the AP classes, as the teachers truly care about the students and their success, while also preparing us for our future college plans. The worst part is the electives, as these classes have trouble teaching me and other students the subject material that is needed.

The best parts are the teachers they are all excellent and keep me engaged. The worst is the admin it's always changing and they have trouble giving decent solutions.

Throughout my years it has been a fun experience the teachers are very interactive with the students and it is fun to make connections with the teachers. Making a good connection with my teachers was my favorite part of my high school years. I would like the curriculum to change and become better prep for college.

Not so good of a reputation so it was scary to enroll my son here but it’s actually a great school. My son has told me he gets along very well and very little to none bullying you see. I’ve met the teachers they are very nice and so is the staff. Teachers are strict though but it’s a good school.

I'm currently attending this school and, highly believe it is amazing. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. My advice to you is to not pay attention to test scores because those don't indicate whether a school is good or bad. I love the variety of electives and academies available at Leuzing...
