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.

I would like to have more clubs, activities, sports and student involvement. They prepare you for what's after high school whether it's college, military or work force.

my experience at lead was amazing . something I liked about it was how much the teachers would help us with college. Something I would change would be the school building.

I recently graduated from Lead and it is a really good school. The support is amazing I never expected it when I started my freshman year but I grew to love it so much. They help you the whole through school but also give you enough space to grow on your own it is honestly a really good school and I definitely highly recommend.
