I am an eighth grade student at Leake. This year has been great so far. I am genuinely enjoying sports and academics this year in every way. Love my LA family!

Leake Academy has no culture or diversity. The Abeka curriculum is outdated. It promotes rote memory. There are no higher order thinking skills used. The teachers promote taking notes in a loose leaf notebook and giving tests based on those notes. Just memorization. The cafeteria food is unhealthy to say the least. There is no safety measures in place at the school. It is just a run-down country school doing the same curriculum by most of the same teachers it's had for years. I would not recommend this school at all. Get out of Leake County and research a better environment to live in.

My last child is in the 8th grade and known by the teachers because of his older brothers. Awesome sc...
