Leflore High School is a school that has extremely positive community and parental involvement. The magnet program has allowed other students from surrounding schools the opportunity to experience the Communication & Arts programs that are available. Leflore HS has an outstanding academic and sports program to offer all students. The Mighty Orange & Green Rattlers are located in the Toulminville Community, where many graduates reside. Leflore HS Marching Band is known acroos the country, for their electric and brillant performances. I look forward to this high school producing our future doctors, lawyers, and professional athletes among other professions. John L .Leflore HS is s school with a vision and mission to ensure that our youth are on the path to success. Overall rating LHS is 9 on scale of 1 to 10

About the tests

In 2009-2010 Alabama used the Alabama High School Graduation Exam (AHSGE) to test high school students in reading, math, language, science and social studies. High school students must pass the AHSGE in order to graduate. The AHSGE is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Alabama. The goal is for all students to pass the test.
