I'd say Largo high School is a pretty solid School solid education good teachers but the thing I believe it lacks the most is the overall school facilities and just maintenance in general I feel like our school needs to be renovated because it's not at its full potential and that just gets a bad look to the school in general but in terms of just overall education the school is great it does have his flaws at times but every school is not perfect it's bound to be something wrong but one thing Largo high School does right are keeping the fundamentals of just pure teaching and learning when you have a question the teacher is there to answer when you don't understand something the teacher will be there to help and support you throughout the way and that's what I believe makes a great School how it teaches and how easy it is to learn and that Largo high School learning is just as easy as one two and three.

My experience at largo high school in the two years i've been there has been a rollercoaster. Many conflicts go on between students on a weekly basis making it not the safest environment. The teachers and counselors do care about student and make an effort to make sure all students pass but sometimes may have the wrong execution. There is a cleanliness problem at the school especially in the bathrooms. This is something that should be more looks at instead of just looked over.

Admin staff lack the ability to perform minimal functions . The school cannot keep good teaching staff in their roster and we are left with subs or poor teachers. Lucky to have the science teacher but that’s about the only competent staff at the school . The principle lacks the ability to lead or co...

This school is not for the weak of heart, extremely rowdy, and off the chain. I hear from my child that it can be nice and laid back, but then immediately turn into a prison. Dont send your child here if you care for their mental health. Drugs are rampant, fights are constant, and after these past f...
