The aspect of City Poly that makes it particularly unique is its an early college school which allows you to partake in college classes while still in high school
10/2/2024
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

In my experience, City Polytechnic High School was and has been a good school. I started my high school career there in the fall of 2019 before the pandemic and it's safe to say I enjoyed my freshman year. Even dealing with the tense unknowns that was 2020, online school was good as well. As I begin the closing of my high school journey this fall, I am more than optimistic and enthusiastic to finish off the year strong and graduate in June with my peers.

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.
