Leesville Road High School at 8410 Pride Way, Raleigh, North Carolina.

This is our first year at Leesville, it's unbelievable how much violence and threats from student occur often. As a parent I'm in shock of how many generic messages I have received regarding threats/violence at school. I don't know why this school is listed as a top school when there are so many bad things happening. This week 3/14 there was a message regarding a student planning a shooting. Today 3/17 4 kids skipped school, "found a fake gun" posted video online and of course another generic do not panic message was received. I have reached out to the administration and the response is "the students involved will be disciplined...this isn't a real incident....there was a unsubstantiated threat....I really hope that one day nothing bad happens. The students threatening to harm or shoot should be immediately expelled. Very disappointed in the lack of respect by students. Perhaps we need to look into the busing students from various bad neighborhoods into a nice area. We would definitely not spend so much on transportation cost. I think If I choose to live in a nice neighborhood, having a nice school is a perk but when bad apples are brought in it's a problem.
