This school leaves something to be desired. From the extremely immature students (grades 7 - 12) to the teachers who only make your day worse, this school will make you miserable. Sleeping through classes is a regular thing, because the assignments they give you are a joke. If you expect to make friends here when you're brand new, don't. Unless you see things the same as every single student here, you will be branded as an outsider. Do yourself a favor, and don't enroll your child into this school.

This is a terrible school. If you want your child to be able to learn and even enjoy going to school, then please take them somewhere else. As a current student, I have to say that my years at Latexo High School have been the worst. The staff and administrators are terrible (within the exception of a few) and the students are horridly immature and disruptive. A majority of the teachers do not care for the well-being of the students and also tend to gossip more than they teach. I am embarrassed to say that I am graduating from this school because Latexo High School is a joke. I feel that I have missed out on a lot of what high-school should have been like because of my terrible experience here. Sad to say, but true.
