School I've attended have just been very complicated to serve truth and for my safety to be comfortable I have to be safe because the staff doesn't help fast enough and are not the best education wise it's the same copy and pasted sheets I've been doing my whole life but there just now teaching it less easier to get involved in the work and easier to get involved with ai the ecadmeic part lacks heavily and you can even tell in the student after being there for sometime.

Too much religion we have forced Christian devotionals every morning admin is corrupt and sexist too little extra curriculars

Very good school with great teachers and a wonderful community. However, the size restricts opportunities for the children. Should work to give the children AP classes and more connections to prepare them for college.

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.
