The pros in Lecanto High School is that it has plenty of program to help students pursue extracurriculars or get a head start on college work. The biggest con in my experience is that the administration is often not as helpful as they could be when it comes to students that need either mental or academic support.

This school wouldn't be too bad if it wasn't dirty, and falling apart. It's obvious that this school is either underfunded or is spending it's funding on the wrong things. They obviously don't care too much about how the students feel about the place, which they all basically hate it here.
