My experience at this school was absolutely terrible. The school was dirty and unkempt. The teachers had no passion and did not put effort into their teaching. Students were disrespectful and have no sense of morality.

I'm a teacher. Poly really a school that has made headway in both teachers and students learning to move forward. This is not a school for teachers who want the easiest to teach or students who expect everything to be easy. The rigor is here for the students to learn. We have professors and teachers who are well versed in their fields of study. We have students who are bright, motivated and ready to learn. We do have some challenges and we work with those who need help. Many of our students come from troubled backgrounds, speak limited English, and need guidance more than other schools. While ratings and scores do provide information, that's just a snapshot of performance. Standardized scores always need interpretation. As a 10-year veteran teacher at Poly. I can tell the school has seen its ups and down in academics and social interaction, but overall I've seen vast improvements here. And remember as a student, if you come here, there are many college readiness and financial aid programs for you to move on to a college or university if you choose. Some of the programs offered here may not be offered elsewhere. Best of luck on your decisions on where you go to school if you are a student reading this. If you are a parent, always know that we are here for you. It's a tough love school and many of us teachers will teach and care for your students as if they are our own.

My son was new to this school this year. The first day he was good. Something happened between the fist day and second because he throws a tantrum when I leave him in the am. As I dropped him off recently I noticed the principal and other faculty giving him extra unnecessary looks. My son shared with me he is scared because he feels those people don't like him. They have made my son uncomfortable to the point he refuses to be left alone at school with them. In my opinion the faculty should talk to him and approach him as a child instead of making him feel uncomfortable and Consentrating on the attention he brings from others. My son is adjusting to new home new school new after school care new friends. So yes it's normal for him to feel afraid, but this staff and faculty is horrible at their job......I'm doing everything in my power to remove him and just pay for good education from staff that does their job because they love it and children not just for a paycheck.
