Best parts of Poway High is definitely the academics. Poway offers over 15 Advanced Placement (AP) classes for people to take. I took 5 and passed all 5 and have received a total of 18 credits for college classes. The only real bad parts of Poway High is the food is kind of mediocre and the locker rooms are a bit old and outdated.

Not a good school, the admin could work on some training with regards being anti racist.

My family has been very impressed with Poway High School. Mr. Nash is an outstanding leader. Very organized and extremely positive.Staff at the school is very friendly. Most teachers have been at the school for a long time.During distant learning, it is apparent they want the kids back on campus.
