how long have you been training?  how old are you?
No the leg press is not the same as doing squats.

I've been training for close to a year now. I was cutting for a couple of months and now I've been on a 4-day split for quite a long time.
 
Currently I'm 17.5 years old.

well, a 3 day split or full body composed of mainly compound lifts might be a better option.  the favorites around here would be upper/lower split, chest/tri - back/bi - legs/shoulder, ches/bi - back/tri - leg/shoulder or sqaut/bench/deadlift - squat/over head press/power clean.

you do a lot of sets and isolations that might not be needed and your just spinning you wheels.
No the leg press is not the same as doing squats.
