This School’s Reviews

4.0 Freshman

11/20/2024

The schools education system overall is immaculate and diverse offering everything I could possibly think about. The teachers and staff are very welcoming and informative. They also try their best to give us the best future. The office and administration is lacking as they make misguided decisions and often don't clarify.

Honestly I've had good experience at this school. The staff are really helpful when it comes to school work and college application.

5.0 Senior

7/23/2024

If someone were to ask me if I enjoyed my high school years I would say they were the best four years for me. My experience at John H. Francis Polytechnic has been really good. This might be because I am really involved at my school. Poly offers many clubs and programs that help students socialize and thrive during their high school years. Poly really wants their students to succeed and they provide so many resources to help students especially seniors during college applications. I have really seen how this community at poly is united. Although the school is under a lot of construction and after covid the school spirit has been down a lot more than before but I see that our school is gaining their sprit back. We try our best to bring our community together and not only at school but the neighborhood as well. One of my favorite experiences might be Parrotfest which is an event Poly has and it has really shown how we are a united community.
