Keiller Leadership Academy

Ahhh memories… my old stopping grounds… Had good times at this place. The teachers cared about the students. Helpful and caring staff. I went there before it became what it is now. Even though lately they had a few incidents with staff and students they have the right faculty to get things correct again. The renovation of the school looks pretty good as well maybe one day ill probably stop by and take a look around. Especially with the new amphitheater.

I can’t believe some people would give this school a bad rating based on it being strict! Seriously?! If we had more schools like this we would have less bums and criminals in the streets. Strictness and discipline is what schools nowadays need most especially for a school that is «in the hood.» Considering that kids «in the hood» are at a higher risk for dropping out and ending up in“juvi”. Kids can be Kids at home but at school and when it comes to education they should be taught. I myself graduated from this school back in it was a «regular» middle school and when «kids were allowed to be kids» and I hated it! There were always fights, lazy teachers, and a bunch of self-​righteous ghetto brats. I have family that has graduated from the new Keiller academy and have personally witnessed the difference. So for all parents who actually take their children’ education seriously send them here.

I’m not going to give a good rating on this school because I have yet to still figure them out. Many of my friends who have had children attend this school have since then removed their child before they could even make it to the next grade. From their perspective this school is ridiculously strict. They have found that the dress code is extremely strict and that the kids here are not allowed to express themselves without getting a call home or some sort of suspension. Apparently this school seems to have a very low tolerances for misbehavior.
I can understand to a degree, being that this school is not far from the hood. So the children in that area may need a little more discipline than others. But my goodness let kids be kids. For some kids, the only time that they can be kids is at school.
