Leavenworth Sr High School

Posted: January 23, 2023

There is very little learning. Loud, on cell phones, teachers loudly talking about students where everyone can here, students can do anything they want and nothing happened

Looking at attending Leavenworth High? DON’T. The administration doesn’t respond to parents. (phone calls and emails never returned, as well as activity telling parents lies when directly asked a question) The school ignores its own policies consistently, and chooses rather to place students in harms way then follow safety guidelines. Teachers ignore students, and favoritism is rampant. Technology is completely outdated and the teachers and administrators have no ability to use even what they do have. Honestly, if your child has any hopes to get into college and become something, run don’t walk away from this train wreck of a school.

terrible, the school is emotionally terrible, at least 3 bomb threats per year, constant fighting is a very common thing, constant drug use among students, drug searches, favoritism, and uncaring teachers.

Leavenworth High School offers so many programs for kids so that each child can find his or her niche. There is the very first Junior ROTC program in the country where kids learn discipline, community service and do physical competitions. There is an awesome theater group, music, debate, forensics, clubs for diversity support and something called Pioneer Ambassadors that pairs new students with older ones to help them get acclimated to the school. The kids say it's like a 6A school with all the activities but a 5A student population. Many of the students are children from military families and have a high level of academic achievement. There are usually several who are commissioned into U.S. military academies straight out of high school.

The last two reviews (Nov 2013, April 2014) were obviously either by parents who have never stepped into Leavenworth High School or are from neighboring high schools playing a prank. Work ethic is rewarded whether in academic or athletic endeavors - sounds like a couple of folks with an axe to grind. Highlights of 2013-14 - school made AYP Standard of Excellence for the last testing year under NCLB - Reading & Math, students once again heading to prestigious colleges across the US, state qualifiers for football, Girls basketball State 5A champions, JROTC battalion at over 350 students engaged in learning leadership - the list could go on. Are there problems in the school? Of course, this is not a rich community - over 40% of school population is on reduced price meals, but the high school is full of dedicated, caring teachers, counselors, and administrators who work very hard to help kids succeed. Parents like the ones who wrote in below never participate, never volunteer, and always blame the school for any perceived slight. Heaven forbid that they actual parent and show up once in a while. Your high school students will get a great education in a diverse school - Go Pioneers!

The staff of this school do not take care of their students. The programs are underfunded, undermanaged, and just plain awful. There are constant drug searches and fights. It is not a learning environment, it is a jail.

This schools education system is standard but their integrity with sports it's ridiculous and sad. They show favoritism. It's not about how good your child maybe, it's who you know! Sad, taking my kids out of this hypercritical school a nd town. The teachers are lack luster and uncaring. They are burnt out and view children as burdens. It's sad what the education system has come to , !!! Angry Patent

This school has came a long ways.And has some of the best teachers.The students there should be recognized.They have some of the brightest kids.And not enough tutoring provided for these children,and their families.Wining this money will help these students provide the funding to help them learn.And make their futures brighter.

Best high school in the county. It has rigorous classes for students who want to be challenged. This HS has the most AP classes, highest quality of teachers, most caring and engaged counselors, wonderfully involved parents, and motivated students. Results of this can be seen in the number of students accepted into the best institutions for higher learning in this country. For example, this year s class of seniors has four students who have already been accepted into West Point. How many other schools in the STATE can meet that kind of quality? If you re moving here and trying to decide which high school to place your student in, select the best Leavenworth High School.

I attended LHS and graduated with the class of 2008. I actually was able to graduate early in December which allowed me the opportunity to jump start my college education. You have to be a student who is willing to apply themselves. I took a few A.P. english classes and felt they were focused and prepared me well for my college experience. There are always problems in a school and some incidents are exposed and make the school appear worse than it is. I will say, when I went, Mr. Parker was making some major and positive changes.
