GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Leonia High School is pretty good overall, but it is lacking in certain areas. Although the teachers are good for the most part, there are still many that are not quality educators that cause their students to struggle in the following years. I myself experienced this with my Spanish teacher in sophomore year - her class was enjoyable because she made it lively and entertaining, but I struggled immensely in my junior year Spanish class as a result of. my lack of knowledge from the previous year. Teachers like this are common in Leonia High School which is unfortunate.

The school only cares about its ratings and nothing else. The staff and the principal are inconsiderate and rude. There are no opportunities as compared to other schools in New Jersey. The bathrooms are not clean, hallways not monitored and the library is the not quiet at all. The school does not pr...
