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.

I have had good experiences especially with extracurriculars including band and arts activities. For example, the opportunity to go to band camp with my peers and mentors. On the other hand, I've had some experiences with some teachers not teaching especially in math. Not because they are not sufficient in math but they are not good at explaining things step by step.

It's an excellent school with a great variety of classes and many AP classes for multiple subjects. There's nothing to complain about as it has a great school culture; and very interactive and fun school events.

We have had excellent teachers and Leesville prepares students for college. Not happy with how many changes the new principal is making. Hope the school remains strong!
