This school is not very good. Me, being alummini of Westpark Elementry School thought this place was going to be decent in comparison to my previous school, well, it wasn't. Tensions are high, especialy racial, and the teachers just don't really care. I, myself try to keep out of trouble, but still,

After moving to this district I was disapointed when within 3 weeks of school starting my son had been attacked on the school grounds by 4 other students hitting him over the head with lunch boxes. The students said it was 'NEWBIE grilling'- the administration said ' we have had problems before school

It wasn't until my son came home bleeding that the administration actually called a child into the office and then they said ' it is a first offense so we will let him know if this continues he will have a citation'. As a result we are moving since my child cannot go to school without fear! Read less

Just toured the school as a prospective student in the Deaf Ed program for my child. Seems to be okay, for the Deaf. We experienced a warm welcome but I couldn't get over the fact that several boy students in the 'strict' Junior Cadet program (JROTC) had their pants sagging so low that they performed

Just had two days worth of fights. Very poor communication with the teaching/office staff. Two 'good' schools with the rest being very bad schools feed into LMS, so there are some rough kids there.

I have 3 kids, 2 of which have attended Leonard. One is at Western Hills now and my daughter is an eighth grader at LMS. I agree that this school is very clickish, however most schools are to a certain degree. I feel that the biggest problem at Leonard is the attitude of the office personal and administrative

The overall theme at LMS seems to be very negative. However, my kids have not had any major problems like some children and I believe that keeping your kids in sports, band, etc... is the key to avoiding some problems. Keep them busy. Read less
