The teachers here are always meeting to discuss ways to improve the learning power of each student. They model assignments and home studies from the feednack provide and what they have observed as a successful tool.

In many cases, there are some teachers who can use a course in patience. But overall, I have found the teachers to be dedicated and always looking for innovative ways to relate to the students' level of understanding. This is especially complicated with a mixed level of comprehension within a set class.

Leisure City K-8 Center has dedicated, caring teachers who really care, inspire and advocate for the students they teach, their families and the community as a whole. Change of boundaries have taken many wonderful students away from our great school. However, students can still attend our school even if they are not in our area. Our principal, Dr. Hunter-Sheppard, RUNNER UP FOR THE 2014 PRINCIPAL OF THE YEAR AWARD. welcomes any student with open arms. Call the school and inquire how your child can attend our great school.
