"Great facilities and teaching"

Laisterdyke Leadership Academy has excellent facilities, and the teaching staff are knowledgeable and enthusiastic. My child loves the leadership program and has learned so much from it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the communication could be better, especially during parent-teacher conferences.

"Good experience, but some issues"

We sent our child to Laisterdyke Leadership Academy for several years, and while we had a generally good experience, there were some issues with the administration and communication. The school's values and leadership programs were excellent, and our child made some great friendships. However, we sometimes felt like we were not kept fully informed about events and decisions.
