The best parts of City Poly High school is the fact that you can take college classes early and even stay in the program to graduate with a free associates degree. The worst parts have to be the boys bathroom, its super cramped

It is a very good school for students who truly value their education. They are a smaller school, but that allows for them to truly give each student the best amount of learning privilege possible. They all do a pretty good job of providing of also planning events to make sure students have the best experiences while in highschool. The only thing the can improve is just building upon all the good the already do and improve always.

When it comes to guiding your students in the right career track, you could always count on them. They helped me figure out what I want to major in, and how to move forward, Their education program is unique and wonderful. Come to this school!!!!

Its an OK school and they do pay 2 years at city tech but if u don't like or wanna do architect and engineering this is really not the school for you at all and the teachers have there moments when they care and don't care but I can't lie its a ok school in my experience and the time I've been there...

It's honestly a really great school, if you put in the effort you will succeed in it. A lot of people complain that it's a bad school and it's simply because they refuse to put in the effort.
