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.

I love the fact that it was very diveresed. The teachers and staff were very helpful with all students. I would love to see Leake County get better with their resources. If they had better resources at the school more students would be able to excel in the classroom and on standardized test. I would also love to see more parent involvement. We have some parent involvement but it's not a lot. If the parents showed they were interested their children would be more involved in school as well.

The environment was constant and full of many different learning practices that helped many different types of learning styles for the students. The only thing that became a factor to me was the inconsistency and lack of communication from what was performed and what was expected without the vital plans to better every student and credit their abilities
