Since i am a freshman who will be atteding Poly i think it's a good school. Not only is it preparing you for college but it gives you an idea of the real world. You understand the work you have to do and you push yourself to succeed.

Submitted by a Current Student on Mar 27, 2010

I am a graduate form the class of 2008 and Poly is certainly a school that provides the essentials needed in preparation not only for college, but the corporate world through its various disciplines and programs. It is an institution that definitely helps pave the way for student achievement and success in which sadly most schools are incapable of accomplishing. The statistics are there.

I'm a graduate of the institute. I think my school is under-rated, we deserve more recognition. Poly prepares you for college more than most schools which almost gives you a headstart with the intensity of college......POLY CO 09
