GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The school is in a bad area, there's lots of fights, and I feel like the teaching isn't that good because of the area which is one of the main reasons I want to go to college so I can go to a better area.

My experience about Alain LeRoy Locke was good and it does have a good culture to it. It is safe, the teachers try to really connect with the students, as well the academics is very good. The teachers will take time out of their day after school to help you understand things you do not understand. The only thing I would change is some of the students mindsets are towards the school because the school is really a good school.
