Leonia is diverse and has a real sense of community. The teachers here are considerate, and very motivating. We have very good clubs and activities that are always extremely pleasing to join. It's a great school to be in. I've never felt more excited to step into school everyday and anticipate learning new things and seeing my friends
Leonia High School is deserving of the title America's Favorite School primarily because of its staff. The teachers in this small town high school are what produce successful students year after year. For example, Dr. Pinker is a teacher for the AP English course. There are are so many ways and processes that are available to him in order to teach the students yet he manages to choose the simplest, easiest, and most effective way. We're tested on our ability to 'read' text, retain knowledge, and to speak about our ideas. That and there's a small amount of time at the end of the class allotted to a particular theme (such as Making the Ordinary Extraordinary) which is then reinforced by a small passage from a book that supports the motif. In any other school this may seem tedious and boring to an aspiring student. In Leonia High School, this is one of the prime spots of the day that I thoroughly enjoy. Dr. Pinker is one of the many examples of teaching that our school possesses. The fact that there's more than one 'extraordinary' teacher is what makes Leonia High School qualify for the title America's Favorite School.
It is a wonderfully integrated school. Children from all over the world attend LHS. They all feel welcomed. There are many fabulous clubs and activities for after school.
