Leake County High School was not bad. It wanted to be bad, it bad because it did not have the correct resources. The staff and faculty there are a blessing of course, and they do all they can.

5.0 Senior

They are super kind and they understand everything about how the students feel. They also help students that have bad grades and speak with them to be sure that they are feeling good and also comfortable with the other kids
