Alain Leroy Locke High School

This school has completely turned around. Green Dot Charter Schools has done wonders.

Wow, this school wasnt even listed on Unilocal.…does that tell you something?
I went here from 9^th-​10^th grade.
When I was in 8^th grade there had been massive racial riots at this school complete with helicopters and ton of police squads.
After this Edward James Olmos spoke to the school about race.
I was scared for my life.
My stay here wasnt so horrible. I just kept low and didnt make any eye contact with anyone.
Some of my teachers were devoted and there to make a change.
Some were just there.
I had a couple bad experiences.
One in which a teacher maced us because we didnt go to the next class on time and another in which I was sent to the deans because I was being «smart» to the janitor. It was really just a race thing.
I saw fights almost every day.
I was relieved when I left.
My brother is there now. He says there are still fights almost every day and there are also teachers that really care.
Its taken over by green dot so we will see if there are some changes for the better.
For the sake of the kids in this area, I hope there is.
