Poly overall, is all you could ever ask for in a school; it has Staff, extracurricular activities, good academics, sports, and school spirit. If you love football, but also enjoy the textbooks this school is definitely for you. This is school is most diverse school in the LBUSD, there is not just one ethnicity throughout the school. The teaching staff tries with every amount of energy to make their students succeed, influencing college work and frequent updates on scholarships. Everyone at Poly wants a to succeed in life, wants that college diploma, this is what makes Poly, Poly. Once a jackrabbit always a jackrabbit!
My experience at Poly high school is actually going pretty great. I really enjoy going to school, not many can say that. As long as you have good teachers it usually goes pretty smooth. My freshman year was the best year of high school I met so many people especially because I joined the girls wrestling team which lead me to met my best friends, the sport I am currently in was a blast my freshman year my team turned out to be my second family! We’d cried and laughed together everyday during practice , we’d pushed our self to the best that we can . which made High school really fun, especially whenever we get to go to the football games , those days are always a day to remember. At my school the stuff really care for us they’re always polite to every student even if the student is being rude in some kind of way. My sophomore year was the same experience as my freshman year, and I hope my junior year turns out the same.
Teachers are amazing! Extremely supportive to students, parents and always make themselves available. Sports programs are the best but academics always comes first
