Summary:
In zip code 33773, there is one high school, Pinellas Park High School, serving grades 9 through 12 in Largo, Florida, as part of the Pinellas County school district.
Pinellas Park High School is a large school with 1,691 students and a student-teacher ratio of 21.4:1. The school shows a promising upward trend in its state ranking, jumping from the 25th percentile to the 35th percentile in the most recent year, earning a 2-star rating. A standout strength is Biology 1, where 73% of students are proficient—nearly matching the state average of 74%. However, math remains a significant challenge, with Algebra 1 proficiency at just 41% (22 points below the state) and Geometry at 38% (18 points below). The school also has a high graduation rate of 94%, which is above both the district and state averages.
The most critical issue is a chronic absenteeism rate of 43.3%, which is nearly 1.5 times the district average and likely a major factor behind the lower test scores. Despite this, the school shows positive momentum: after a dip in the 2024-2025 school year, proficiency rates increased in every subject in 2025-2026. This rebound, combined with the improved state ranking, suggests recent efforts may be starting to work. For parents, this school offers a strong science program and a high graduation rate, but math achievement and attendance are key areas to watch closely.
