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.

Ledford Senior High School is a wonderful school. Yes, it may be older, and yes it may not have a lot of funds but we have the nicest, most educated, and dedicated group of teachers that strive for student excellence. Ledford also has great student engagement and wonderful club experiences, that prepares students for college if they so choose to attend, and the real world.

Ledford High is full of many resources and opportunities to be greater after highschool. It is a love, hate relationship because some of the students make it uncomfortable from their racist remarks. There have been many times where i've encountered acts of racism and very little has been done to prevent it. Other than that I personally enjoy ledford and i'm glad to be apart of its community.

I have went to this school for about 3 years now, and I have had a wonderful experience with classmates, teachers, the principals we have had here and the many opportunities it provides to its students. This school helped me learn the importance of actually keeping with it, and the importance of diversity and everyone as a whole.
