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

I had a great time as a student at City Polytechnic H.S. This school is one of the best P-tech schools in the city and I would recommend this school to others.

I was promised a lot of things at the open house before I attended, but as soon as started, all of those things disappeared. I like the student environment but the academics are iffy.

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.
