After the return of Laura Ling and Euna Lee, Lisa Ling is back doing special reports. Here’s a recent report she did for Nightline on Locke High School in South Central Los Angeles. This troubled school is a notoriously tough school. In May 2008, a brawl involving a reported 600 students broke out in the middle of campus. The school is going through a transformation with Green Dot Public Schools, a privately-funded charter organization. Lisa Ling spent a year as the school transforms. Watch her report below.

The report reminds us of the documentary “Whatever It Takes” and Michelle Rhee making changes in the D.C. school system.
