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.

I liked the attitude of most of the teachers. I'd like for there to be better lunch food. I'd also like for there to be a better understanding of the rules.

I have went to Polk County High School for 4 years now I am a senior of 2020.MY experience at Polk County High School was/is eventful, fun, difficult. I give credits to the business classes that are offered here. The math teachers could be improved on. In all the school has an outstanding rate of academics and it has a safe and smart place to study around.

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.
