My experience at Larkin High school for the past four years have been rather interesting.Its overall a great school with great teachers that have the best of our interest.Everything about this school is up to its standard.The faculty here is rather engaged with the students with any help they need.

Larkin is a beautiful place and it has a lot of options and opportunities like sports or music classes or programs and many more and I mostly enjoy the sports and I just wish I could get a scholarship on that but I try my best.

My highlights include my time in school clubs. They build a sense of community and are sponsored by passionate teachers. Talking to administration is more difficult than I'd like it to be. The art and music departments are heavily supported and prove great results.

My daughter has IEP and the help she got from the school was disgraceful it was awful I don’t wish it upon anybody sending there kids here
8/23/2025
I would not recommend this school to anyone! If you move to Elgin and your homeschool is this one I would not recommend sending your kid to this school! You’re better off homeschool your kid or sending them to private school or not moving at all. The school is so bad that you would hate school by ju...

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.
