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.

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.

My overall experience with Fulton leadership academy has been good. I've been there since my 9th grade year of high school and I've been getting good grades there since. Fulton leadership academy it's a good school if you're trying to get your grades up and get your credits for college. My only concern is the lack of a full high school experience such as having lockers, bigger sports experience, and different high school activities .

For the most part my experience has been poor. A lot of my advancement and college connections have been simply due to luck. There might only be 1 professor in the entire high school group that really cares. The rest are jaded and ready to leave. In order for the school to work the staff my all most buy into their motto and help in the selection of bringing in young men and families that want to be productive and excel.

I've gone to f.l.a since the 6th grade and I am now a senior. There a lot of positives about this school. One of them being the smaller classes so the teacher can help each individual student. But on the other hand the also have major flaws. Such as timely communication, they fail often at informing and preparing their students for the next level. The school has a level of re laxness that just makes the student lazy.

It's very favorable to certain boys. You only will do well here if your child is a part of a sports team. Homophobia & sexism is very much tolerated here. Extremely easy to cheat. All we did was go on our phones & watch Netflix or anything. We used phones on tests & teachers supported it as long as...
