My son has been a Sun Devil since elementary he is really into math and engineering and ASU PREP POLY has been a great experience for him offering honors class with great teachers. Admin is super helpful so don't hesitate to contact them if you have any questions.

For my sophomore year here I had little to no friends at this school. I would sit alone at lunch and have no one to talk to at lunch or after school. I am now in my junior year at this school and there is a dramatic difference. I have a nice friend group,my studies are doing tremendously better. I feel like your school social level and school involvement has a huge impact on your studies and motivation for you to keep going.

I have been attending this school for 8 years. I have enjoyed my experience with the school. There are ups and downs everywhere you go, but I found far more ups than downs.

The school has shifted away from actual teaching and learning, and instead is pushing their online learning. There is a reason students here are attending school in person and not online. The school claims to prepare you for college, and proceeds to blindly give you work that the administrators have...

You are nothing but a number here. Do not enroll. They lie to get you in the door. The counselors do not support the students and they are not honest. My daughter should be going into another set of courses but they now "don't have seats available". Weird how she's been enrolled all semester and the...

Such a great school. Teachers and staff are so supportive and interactive with the community. School is patrolled by campus police so very safe. There a variety of after school activities. My fav part is how active the PTSO is in putting together community events.
