Loved the smaller number of graduates in my class because it allows for you to truly get to know your classmates. The teachers were always helpful. The only thing I would like to see changed is more opportunities for a broader range of classes and sports.

Great people. I have lived in Cleveland for many years of my life and coming to Polk County has led me to meet so many sweet and caring people compared to the city. I love the southern feel of the school and I can't believe I'm graduating so soon.

PoCo is a pretty awesome school. I've been in the Polk County school system my whole life and let me just say the high school is so much better than the middle school. In the middle school it's very strict and annoying and i wanna fire a bunch of people there but at the high i just wanna give them all a hug and say thank you.

I made a 22 on my ACT the first time I took it and the second time I took it, I went up at l...

This school is a joke! Education is not a priority. The teachers participate in gossip. Had only a handful of actual teachers. Spend too much time and money on sports.

Polk County High School is a great school. The school is 100 years old and has graduated many, many outstanding young people who have become outstanding citizens either in professional jobs or just good employees in what ever jobs they enter.
