Polaris High School Reviews

...My son was transfered to Polaris from his home high school because of trouble he had got into. He attended the school for one semester and received incompletes in all classes. He hated going there, the teachers had no control over the students and what they said or done. He had to worry about being jumped by students through out the school day. He couldn't learn with other students constantly talking about drugs and gang violence in the class room. My son isn't an angel otherwise he wouldn't have been transfered to Polaris but he also deserves to get a education if he wants one and this school didn't allow for it to happen.

"This school has absolutely changed my son's life! He is a brilliant kid who has a learning disability, and the staff absolutely understands his situation and teaches the way he learns! They are so insightful, understanding and capable, I feel lucky that we are part of that community."

"They have a newly built building which is absolutely gorgeous and very well laid out. In general the staff is caring, but firm. Only bad thing is that parent involvement is not encouraged. Yet!!"
