I had two children attend this school last year. The youngest one did well but the large class size seemed too overwhelming to be a good learning environment. Some kids that could not keep up did not receive sufficient attention because there weren't enough resources. Parents really need to be more involved in their children's education now days. Also, we contributed to the class fundraiser and never saw where the funds were spent. My older student did well also but I don't think the teacher challenged the classes writing skills and pushed the importance of proper fundamentals often enough. Writing is an important foundation that should start in elementary school and be continously cultivated throughout adulthood. The demand only gets greater. Burnett's PTA is almost non-existence. Harldy any parent's or teacher's actively participate.

Long Beach Poly is the pride and joy of Long Beach. It is a school that encourages the creativity and growth of its diverse student body from many different backgrounds. All teachers in every pathway are among the best you will ever find. From supporting nearly 4,100 students, all teachers are incredibly helpful and truly want their students to grow not just academically; but provide guidance for building character. All faculty and staff are kind, warm, and truly show what being a Jackrabbit is. Right when you walk into this school, you can tell how the student body and all staff are truly proud to be at Poly and be a Jackrabbit.

I've been assigned to this school for about 3 weeks, and this is the most terrible school to work in. The kids are not sure what they're learning and require constant reminders of the subject material. Some students don't know how to type and they don't read any books that can help with their language. Very few kids know what they're doing, however, the majority lack proper cognitive skills and they don't take notes and they have no homework. The subjectivity of some kids is appalling and they despise certain instructors for no good reason who are trying to help them. This is an evil school and I hope people make the right choice and don't come near this school.
