I believe the school is on track and since I am moving from the area I have no real estate reason to say so...I can not speak for a child that doesn;t get it since my son clearly did. He is graduating this year from Leigh High School and I could not be happier. He is at the top of his class and was

Leigh High School is progressively going downhill. They do not know what the students are up to and the school puts no effort into making a student successful. My experience was so bad I pulled my child out of Leigh.

I agree that a school is what you make of it. There are those students that are fortunate enough to 'get it' and pretty much do well because they are able to guide themselves through school. Then, there are those students that need a little more guidance and help...well Good Luck! I find that the
... Read more staff is basically only capable of helping those that can mainly help themselves. The rest plain and simply fall through the cracks. I don't know if it's due to budget cuts, lack of sufficient proper staffing or what. I just know that my child with 'special needs' due to illness has totally fallen through the cracks! As a parent I've done everything possible to make the appropriate plan availbale for my child, but while it's written on paper...the majority of the teachers simply don't or can't find the time or want to follow the program.

This is an excellnt school. Yes, motivated students succeed here. However, if your child isn't motiviated or isn't succeeding, you, as a parent need to accept some responsibility. This is a public school, after all. School administration can only do so much with the resources they have.

Back to school night was a joke; it was a way for teachers to pretend to reach out to the parents. I agree that this school provides the academics required for our kids to get into college, but only if they are self reliant. It is a lot like college...so they are getting a taste of what is to come.

My son is also a freshman. We've have experienced the same situation. My husband wrote an email to the counselor and never got an answer. Surprisingly however we are impressed with the school and the teachers. Most importantly my son is happy, had made new friends and always has a fair amount of homework.

I have a freshmen daughter in this high school and she likes it very much. The school is very diverse with all types of kids and they all seem to make an effort to make each other feel included. The only problem with this school is that your child is pretty much on their own. The teachers and counselors
