School Reviews

Everyone makes people feel welcome and is very supportive in any way. Yes, there is a lot of shoving in the hallways, but that doesn't make the school bad. For me, this school is a miracle because they try to make learning fun for students so that way we as students are looking forward to school the next day and not taking it as a chore. This school is heaven compared to other schools, because I have a 13-year-old cousin who is in 8th grade, and she has seen up to 3 fights a day. But that is just what she has seen, and that is in Grandview where I have 6 cousins that got to an elementary school in Grandview or a middle school in Grandview. My Parents grew up in Grandview/sunnyside as well and said to me You have it easy and good. All I am saying is Leona Libby Middle School is the place for your kids to go if they want it nice and easy.
