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 experience at Leland High School has certainly been memorable. Although not all the teachers are favorable, the community that I have created here has been great. They have enhanced my experience by pushing me to take classes I normally wouldn't, and excel in them by helping me create a healthy study habit. I will never forget the impact my community has made on me and I hope to give back to it in time.
