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.

It is very stressful, students are very rough. Very little learning, mostly socializing, going on here. Students move around in their assigned seats. I felt bad for some students that wanted to learn.

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.
