Overall, I think Poly prepared me for college a great deal. The best part of my experience was my opportunity to take AP classes. However, they do need more qualified teachers to teach the students.

Poly is a great school and my child has been quite happy. The staff is strong, the kids nice, and college prep good. It is not a school for lightweights, and why so many kids wash out. The home work load is substantial after the freshman year where it's too light. My kid has a 4.0 average and strugg...
