2/5/2024
Do not come to Poly if you think that the Poly name will give an advantage to your kid getting into an Ivy/top college. The name Poly doesn't mean anything to people in that college world. Poly college counselors are useless as a resource (unless you are in the top 1% in the class because it's those kids who will get into the ivies/top schools anyways that they will tout as if they had anything to do with it). They are formulaic in their thinking/advice and expect that everyone should simply follow what they say instead of looking at each kid's situation. They want you to tell them everything but they are not as transparent. Poly Athletics has also been terrible. Especially the previous AD and his assistant AD. Conflict avoidant and lack of communication. Do not expect that they will help support your kid or be a resource if you want your kid to be recruited. This new AD seems better but he has a long road ahead to change the perception of Poly Athletics.

Super fun school but also very academically challenging, the best of both worlds. Teachers are excellent and they care about the students

I liked the welcoming environment and the availability of teachers to help me whenever I needed extra assistance.

Staff are rude and unprofessional. Don’t care to listen or speak with you. The south campus parking attendants are the worst. Constantly yell at you, act very disrespectful and are unprofessional.

Wholeheartedly recommend this school! Poly's diverse community is both welcoming and academically rigorous.

Our experience at Poly is now in it's 7th year and continues to be absolutely fantastic.

My kid started in middle school and easily made friends. The kids are welcoming and enjoy the new faces. I do belief the kids that have attended Poly since kindergarten are really bored by Junior year.Poly is not for everyone, especially the high school. It is rigorous and it does not slow down for...
