Being a student here has been an incredible experience, where I have learned a lot!
All the people have treated me in a proper and kind way!
The teachers are awesome too! They all look happy about working here, and I can really see their love for teaching.
Classes here are not that hard, but I have learned just as well as I would have in harder classes. There are tons of AP classes and have really prepared teachers teaching them.
A great experience overall, 100% recommended.

Leander High School is rated one of the top school districts in Texas. They have a wide variety of electives for high school students to pick from, helping them discover what they want to do later in life sooner. They also have done an exceptional job at ensuring the safety of the students and staff during the pandemic. However, the most prevalent problem is the inflexible curriculum. Teachers are given a very strict, full schedule of what topics to teach and what dates they need to teach them. This prevents them from having the ability to go very in-depth on what they're teaching, resulting in students not having a very good grasp of what they are being taught, and a lack of understanding of how they can relate it to everyday life. In my opinion, it also makes teachers lose passion for their subject, making the lessons blander and less engaging. Leander ISD also has trouble accepting feedback from students, which results in some students who are unsatisfied with education quality.
Leander ISD is very slow and doesn't communicate with the students in the district in a timely manner, along with also making bad decisions when it comes to how the school district should be run. They do not take into account student and staff safety when it comes to bad weather protocol. Although LISD does allow for great teachers and staff to have the freedom to run the school the way they like in certain aspects, they also limit some freedoms that should be left to the discretion of those in charge of the school, making the school a very hard place to learn and a very hard place to enjoy there time.
