TORRES_XI: Locke is a shool that has both good and bad. There are great teacher that teach what they are suppost to with passion, there are students who have the desire to succeed.

Alain Leroy Locke Senior High School
This is a terrible school. The teachers are okay, but most of the students are not so good in the brain if you know what I mean (not special ed), makes the learning kind of hard with them around. I did not enjoy my experience in this school.
