League Academy has lots to brag about! The teachers, staff and pricipal, Merry Cox, are helpful, positive, and readily available. As my daughter begins her third year, every day of each year, has been a positive experience for her which is most important for children at this age. Discipline issues are handled immediately. By resolving issues quickly, the students have less interuptions and can go back to learning. Every teacher is there to teach! Ms. Cox has guided the school through the growing pains and has given parents opportunities to volunteer, be hands on as much as needed, and allowed the teachers to do their job. This combination of authority and motivation will continue to allow this school to achieve their goals!
League has a new, well equipped facility but still struggles to overcome a basic problem that has plagued the South Carolina school system for decades: attracting a better caliber of teacher. While there appears to be plenty of money for infrastructure the powers that be will not budget for higher teacher salaries. It's flash and sizzle but little meat. In our experience there have been only a handful of teachers that invest the energy and dedication one would hope to see from this most important component of public education. As a magnet school League is filled with talented and capable students who posses almost limitless potential. But they need to be challenged and supported in a manner more conducive to expanding on their potential as individuals.
This school is wonderful. My oldest daughter went here 6th through 8th grade, The teachers are very caring.
This year has been a nightmare. It has been virtually impossible to schedule a conference. Although there are a few dedicated teachers, most have their own agenda. Many parents are extremely displeased with lack of carry over and the simple lack of caring for students and students progress. League has a beautiful school but not much else.
