Polytechnic High School Reviews

 
As of right now, I am a student at Poly High School, and I really enjoy it. I am in the PACE program and it is very demanding, but that shouldn't idscourage anyone from going. There are many clubs and extracurricular activities to be a part of. My teachers have been great so far, and I am sure they will be next year too. It is a huge school with plentiful diversity, which I think is a great atmosphere. All in all, it is a grea school for learning and fun.

I recently graduated from Poly's PACE Program and glad to say that Poly is a Great school! Was nominated as the top high school sport's program. Home of the Scholars and Champions! Go Jackrabbits!

I attended several High Schools in my high School days (4). Though I only went to Poly for a short while, I can say it completely dominates. I would even venture to say it is the best school I ever attended all together.

My daughter is a freshman @ Poly this year in the PACE program. Despite the fact that there are over 4400 students on campus, her transition coming from a much smaller academy-type middle school(Newcomb)couldn't have been more seamless.I have been on campus several times & have felt a pride and sense of legacy there that I have never felt on any other high school campus - including my alumnus-St.Joseph HS. I can only speak of the PACE program, but the teachers/staff are deeply involved with and dedicated to our childrens' education. They truly embody the adage,'No child left behind'. In addition to an education on par(or better than)most private schools,Poly also provides electives and extracurricular activities in a public school environment that most other schools do not offer... classes to learn how to play musical instruments,how to dance...and a top echelon sports program for both boys and girls. Go Jackrabbits!

There CIC & PACE program has help students in preparing for college courses.Also, the booster club and parents are strongly involved with different activities. Poly has been great over 20 year that I have known them to be. All administrative and staff members in different departments has held a positive learning atmosphere for our children. Giving them more opportunities to pursue their education and dreams.Despite of how difficult some students may be. I am truly grateful for your concern and support as a whole. Thank you!

This is a good school if you are involved in extracurricular activities. Also if you want to take the more difficult courses try to get in Pace or CIC.

This is an outstanding magnet school with great college prep programs, as well as extracurricular activities, most notably sports and music. Parent involvement is fairly strong, but consists of more middle-class parents than is indicative of the makeup of the school. Safety has been an issue in the past, but it has improved greatly in the past decade and fights are rare on campus. Overall, a great school and 'family' to be involved with as long, as you're not afraid of getting lost in the crowd!

This school has good programs for students interested in the arts and has a good sports program as well. They have a dance program. They also have several programs for Honor students.

It's a bit overcrowded but I overall like it. It's very diverse and I have many many friendships that have taught me a lot about people different than me.

Yes, I appreciate having this comment page for parents and students to respond with their feedback. I honestly believe Poly is a good school and I am very proud and happy that my daughter is a part of this school system. Since my profession is education I know the extreme importance of attending a quality school that will benefit our children and get them prepared and ready for the future and Poly certainly has this influence. Thanks to Long Beach Poly for your dedication and commitment to our students and an even greater thanks to all the Teachers and Counselors who put up with our
