Polytechnic High School is a great school with few minor inconveniences. The principal, staff, and teachers are always on-task, making sure we get the best education possible at this school. Just today, I was stopped at the game because I didn't have my physical ID but upon finding it at the bottom of my backpack, I was let into the school. Despite this sounding bad at first, I'm glad that the security is up-to-date, keeping our students safe. The main factor that made me give Poly this 4/5 rating is about the conditions of the facilities. They are heavily outdated and with Poly being a crowded campus, this doesn't work well. Aside from this, the principal and the school staff are doing a perfectly good job at running the school. Go Jackrabbits!
Great school! Offers lots of opportunities for disadvantage students to thrive towards their career and academic goals. The teachers really care and go out of their way to support their students. Great sense of community and school events that allow people to connect to each other. There is a college and career center that helped everyone, especially first-generation students, navigate the college admission process. Go Jackrabbits!
There were so many things that I enjoyed at polytechnic high school! They really let you express yourself and there were many programs and courses you could take to help better yourself. One thing I would change would be the PACE clubs or those clubs that really make it hard for POC to join. You feel out of place if selective in joining. It honestly feels like your secluded if you were to be enrolled in one of those classes! i personally feel it just makes it hard on those who aren’t able to enroll in these courses and overall it really does feel like they are superior than us POC. Also more safety and cop patrols roaming around campus throughout the whole day, not just necessary on break, lunch, before and after classes. You see a lot of fights break out because of race and I truly feel like if more involvement of authorities were to be on campus it would be way better and it would honestly be a bit more controlling for not only the students but also the teachers there seeing this.
