This school is wild, but at least it's true. This school is a mix of backgrounds and personalities, which is both good, okay, and bad. Yes, this school has "dangers," but if you do something before it does, it would be so much safer. I say this because most students here want to deal with their issues themselves, but it ends up being a mess. This school is good if you make an effort to report things you see that may endanger someone else. This school does NOT mess around when they hear a student is struggling with something, or has an issue with someone (family, friends, peers), the school will help you. This school makes an effort to help students be safe and happy, but they can only do that IF you make an effort to tell a staff member that something is going on. This school makes an effort to make sure it's safe, friendly, non-toxic, and so much more, but they need students' help with reporting something before the issue gets worse. OH, and this school has a great education system, but you do have to remind ur student if they're struggling to ask for help! The teachers here will help you (yes, even the strict ones!).

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 know that every parent has their own opinions and experiences, but in all honesty in my experience this is the best Elementary School both my kids could have gone to. It starts with the teachers which my little ones and I love so much, in my opinion and experience with challenges and experiences I have had with my little ones at the school, all the teachers I have come across are so caring, loving and respectful to the students. You can tell they love what they do and most of them go above and beyond to make students feel welcome and cares for. Example: my son was struggling with staying at school starting in first grade, it wasn't because anything was happening at school, but because my son was struggling academically, the school counselor, vice principal, teachers have all been amazing in supporting my son, as a parent I was lost, but I knew exactly what I needed to do as my son's kindergarten teacher was the first one to observe that my son may have ADHD and as he's teacher not a professional specialist, she just wanted me to keep and eye on the signs and if I saw my son struggling more, she told me to please get him evaluated for ADHD. It was because of her initial observation that I was then later in first grade as my we all saw my son struggling I knew exactly what to do to start the process. Right after that observation and up until now my son and my daughter have received nothing but amazing support from the teachers, the principal Mrs. Gamboa is amazing, her role as a principal is very unique, fun, caring and loving and you can tell she loves what she does, she's always happy , bubbly, participates with our children and the parents, is kind , humble , loving and caring, Mrs. Gobas the school counselor is also amazing she is also very caring, loving, humble, kind and you can tell she cares so much about the students, the teachers , omg the teachers are amazing as well, as far as what I have seeing we all have good days and bad days none of us are perfect and we all have things we need to work on, so not every parent may not agree with me on this review, however I speaking on behalf of my children and myself from the experiences we have had, the connections we have made and the observations we have seeing and to us the teachers are amazing, I can name a few Mr. H , Mr. Duran, Mrs. Gonzales, Mrs. Mannu, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Perrucio, Dr. Harrimis, Mr. Perez, Mrs. Jaimeson, Mrs. Funke and I have so many more, but I don't have space anymore..
