GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Erma Duncan Polytechnical High School is particularly strict on attendance, grades, and choices that you'll have to stick with, going into freshman year.

Over the past few years at Duncan, I have had a wonderful experience and have gained tons of experience. Duncanpoly has a medical program that allows you to gain hands-on experience. Three times a week, I go to a nursing home and assist the residents with any of their needs. The worst part of my experience is that its alot of work and stressful. I have tests often for just my medical class, and the jobsite can be exhausting.
