Polytechnic High School is well known for it's academics and sports which is good because they are both an amazing part of the school. But another thing is a sense of community. The culture at Poly is so welcoming and inviting and the school spirit is never ending especially as someone who was in the wonderful marching band.

My experience throughout going to school here is always on the ups and downs. What I would like to see a change is on the college readiness. They don't help us along the way as we have to figure it out by ourselves. Majority of seniors don't utilize what they have so faculty has stopped helping getting students ready. The school itself, clubs and sports make you feel included. The diversity of the school is more than you can imagine.

Going to school at Poly highschool in Long beach has always been my path. My father went to Poly many years ago, then my sister, then me. I feel as though poly is the best school in the Long beach area. Being in the CIC program is a privilege and having the opportunity to take AP classes whenever and honors courses, it's a big advantage Poly has over other schools
