Being a student at Larkin High School has been an honor. The staff feels like family and can be trusted for advice and guidance. The programs are great and I can't wait to see what's to come in the future years.

At Larkin I've been able to have many amazing opportunities and explore above my horizon. At Larkin not only did I get the necessary educational help I needed such as imparting knowledge to me, but I was also very fortunate to be able to have the immense support of all my teachers, coaches and friends at Larkin. Larkin is a very well spirited school that makes sure that all students work to the best of their ability. Larkin also has wonderful coaches and sponsors that are in charged of various clubs and sports that many students enjoy with

A great high school to attend with some flaws like most high schools. I had an average experience attending four years of growing up. It does have an excellent music and arts program but some of the other activities weren't as great.

Not a good school, if you live in the area you should send kids to a private school.

I honestly really like Larkin, it isn't as bad as some people may think it is, it's very decent and the students here are honestly very close since it's such a caring school.

As a 2012 Graduate, I can honestly say that Larkin High is not as bad as people make it out to be. Dr. Tuin is a GREAT principle. He is involved unlike the former principle, be glad they cleaned out the former administration, because they were horrible! Dr. Tuin and Mrs Livengood can be seen around...
