My best experience with Poly Prep is learning about the unlimited resources that the school has to offer. Not only are the athletic facilities very modern and taken care of but the art studios and theater rooms are places free for self-expression and the creative flow of ideas. The worst experience I had in poly was racist remarks since the school is a PWI, microaggressions would be said as often as the word hello. Poly Prep was a culture check for how the rich view others who are not like them.

Poly has been a fantastic experience for both my kids (currently in elementary school). The teachers are very caring and go out of their way to ensure every kid is given the best opportunity to succeed. The school truly values raising strong individuals with good character and places as much emphasis on their social-emotional development as they do on their academic development.

My son started Poly as a freshman. We were very excited to be part of the school but it was a complete disaster from literally the first day when the bus he was supposed to take did not stop at the place where they told us it would. It went downhill from there. I found the communication to be terrib...
