7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is one of the worst elementary schools in Katy. Students do not learn teachers can’t control the class rooms. With constant bullying taken place at the older grade level. Teachers even tell students they can’t handle the class or their lost on what to do. Administration is mediocre they make broken promise. If you can help it enroll in charter schools in the area if you’re assigned to this school.Parent Review1y ago - Leonard High School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMost of the teachers and staff are great, about the kids and giving them a good head start for their future. The athletic program, like in most Texas schools, is geared more toward boys so girls have to be exceptional. The down side is definitely the fact that everyone is family or close friends. It takes a newcomer about 3 years to fit in on the parent side. Kids however do not have that problem.Parent Review8y ago - Leonard Junior High School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageExcellent. Schools are here to teach not discipline. HOwever, the school has their own definition of bullying you can read up in their handbook, outside of that it’s up to parents instill morals, tolerance and mindfulness. LOts of sweet caring teachers here and great principles as well as principals! IM very glad we moved here from cleburne, which was nice also.Parent Review5y ago - Leonard Intermediate School
