Unleash Your Inner Champion, Soar to New Heights!

– Aristotle
Greek Philosopher
Greetings Olympian families, and when we say family it is just that!
Plato Academy prides itself on our Greek heritage, academic success, and our families, Our mission statement ends with just that, ‘fostered by a commitment and cooperative effort among the school, students, parents, and community: our family.’ Walking the halls or Plato Academy Largo you will feel a part of our family from the first moment and we hope to have you visit any time. Our alumni have gone on to do great things and when they return their first words are how they miss our time together. For this we are proud of them, and you.
As principal my goal is to support your scholar to become the best version of themselves in and out of school. Our working together is the key to that success and we are grateful you choose us for your child’s education.
Bravo to families new and old and bravo to being an Olympian!
Crystal Boyd

A Title I Schoolwide Program is a comprehensive reform strategy designed to upgrade the entire educational program in a school, so every student achieves high levels of academic proficiency.
Pinellas County Schools receives an annual allocation of federal dollars to provide supplemental resources to support student success at schools that have high percentages of families who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Federal and state law determines how Title I funds are allocated to eligible schools and programs. Currently, 85 Pinellas County schools are receiving supplemental resources which may include additional staff, supplementary instructional materials, and funds for parent/family events and activities.
Schoolwide programs allow staff in schools to redesign their educational programs to serve all students. The emphasis is on serving all students, improving all structures that support student learning, and combining all resources, as allowed, to achieve a common goal of 100% student success.
Activities supported by Title I, Part A funds must be planned based on a comprehensive needs assessment and developed in consultation with parents, teachers, principals, and other relevant stakeholders. The Local Educational Agent (LEA) must also actively engage stakeholders in continued consultation to improve supported activities.
Developing and implementing a high-quality schoolwide program is a systemic, effective strategy for increasing the academic achievement of all students. A schoolwide program will maintain the fundamental Title I principles including accountability and reporting of academic results, reform rooted in research-based practices, and school and community engagement and collaboration in the operation of the school.
