My daughter attends Leesville High school, after I was recently stationed at Ft Polk. This school is over a year behind her last school academically. The staff is obsessed with the dress code, to the extent that education suffers because of it. Leesville is also much more expensive than her last high

The aministration is more worried about dress code than our education. The school would be better if they would focus more on our education.

My 1st review of LHS was blocked because I was too negative. I will try this again. LHS has enforced the uniform dress code to the limits this year. A letter was sent home with the students prior to the winter break advising parents that what had been allowed for the past 3 years would no longer be

The only fault with LHS is that the new prinicipal has become obssed over the dress code. Schools should spend more time teaching and disicpling behavioral problems instead of dress code issues.

Very poor teacher/admin response to questions.The teachers apparently think they are there for themselves and do not insure the students are taught to staandards. Treat military children like they do not belong there. This school and the surrounding community are very racial and bias.

I can only say that I am in my senior year at LHS, and basically the people who have left comments have gotten it right. Unless you play football, basketball, or baseball for the school you get shafted. The administrators will tell you that there are countless programs for students to become involved

I,myself, am a student-athlete, but unfortunately I don't play in the three sports that this school funds. In addition, as far as the dress code goes, more students get sent home for what they are wearing or because they have a cell phone than the students who stay and may or may not get a quality education depending on the teacher.

As a parent and teacher I would just like to say you get what you put into your school system just like your life. When parents do not back you up and do not expect respect at home, then the student will not respect theirselves or anyone else. The maturity level of the student (this does not include

I say if you do not like the way things are run, then you need to attend a class and see why. I have never been disappointed when I go to a meeting with a teacher or administrative personnal. Most of the people who complain do not attend open-houses or disregard a meeting with the teacher when called. Don't just talk, do something and see the whole picture. Read less

I graduated in 1998 I would have to say that Leesville was an average school. It wasn't the best and it definately wasn't the worst. The teachers were always really good, a student could talk to a teacher if they had a problem and even the 'football coaches' made us learn not about football, baseball
... Read more or any sports for that matter. Parent Involvement is encouraged at any school, so what makes Leesville so different? You don't have to be a booster to be involved with the school. I would definately have to say that the discipline was more strict after I graduated. The student had to wear uniforms due to the Leesville and Ft. Polk students not getting along and displaying gang colors not only on the streets but also in school. Thanks Col. McCloud, 1st Sgt. Babineaux, Mrs. Williams, and Lisa Deen for being great teachers.

I have to say that LHS is not one of the best schools that I have attended. I graduated in 2004. Your senior year is supposed to be one of the best years of your life. The attendance rate at LHS is so low. And they wonder why? Its because they make us hate school, they took away all of our school spirit,

After I graduated I had to come back to the school to get some papers signed and I wasn't wearing my uniform they told me I had to come back in my uniform. I had already graduated! Read less
