Summary

Largo High in Upper Marlboro, MD, is a comprehensive public high school serving 1,159 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district, where 64% of students come from low-income families.

Largo High presents a fascinating paradox: it excels in English Language Arts (ELA) while struggling significantly in mathematics. With 51.4% of students proficient in ELA, the school nearly matches the state average and outperforms most nearby schools, including Suitland High (33.5%) and Fairmont Heights High (30.2%). However, only 2% of students are proficient in math—far below the district average of 13.7% and the state average of 27.1%. This extreme gap suggests the school has effective literacy programs but faces a critical challenge in math instruction. The school also boasts a strong and improving graduation rate of 90.9%, the highest among standard comprehensive high schools in the area and well above the district average of 78.9%.

Despite these strengths, chronic absenteeism remains a major concern at 35.6%, though it is lower than many neighbors like Central High (57.6%) and Suitland High (56.2%). Interestingly, Largo High shares its campus with the International High School @ Largo, a separate program for newly arrived immigrants where only 15% of students are proficient in ELA. The school also sits less than a mile from the Academy of Health Sciences at PGCC, a top-ranked magnet school with near-perfect scores, highlighting the educational inequality within the same neighborhood. While Largo High spends over $20,000 per student—higher than many nearby schools—this investment has not yet translated into improved math scores, suggesting a need for targeted resources in that subject.
