This is the best school, by far, that I have visited. Their STEM program trailblazes for other high school programs across the country.
Poly is the best school ever! They offer you the best opportunities and their classes are very challenging, which is very good and helps prepare you for college.
im so confused!!!!! ive had uniform all my school life and i hate it, thats one reason im considering BCC and because its close to my house. But....poly seems to be a better choice, cirriculum wise. but im soooo tired of uniform and i want to be free. :(
Best education in Math and Science in the nation
Poly has a challenging curriculum, remember students 20 years out of school and they remember you. Prepares students for the world at large. Poly teaches you more than just the basics.

Polytechnic has long served the local and national community with its graduates who became top engineers, physicians, military leaders, politicians, professional athletes, producers, bankers, true innovators throughout industry, rocketry and education. Begun as a feeder school for the U.S. Naval Academy, Poly is steeped in engineering sciences and requires excellence for teaching staff and students.
I currently attend Balti more Polytechnic Institute. Im A freshman, soon to be sophmore. Poly is a very challenging school, and it is definetely preparing me for college. As long as I stay focused, and stay on task, I will suceed at Poly. At times, I wish that we had more freedom and rewards but overall Poly really is a great school, and I cant wait until we start school again in August!
The school places academics above all else, teaches personal responsibility, and has outstanding facilities and acsess to teachers. The curriculum is challenging and grading is fair.
Poly's curriculum is great, but it needs to change. It needs to be even more challenging. Teachers really need to drill things into their students' heads in all subjects. Today, I hear it is better than it was for graduates of the class of 2005 and I hope so, because truly looking back, it wasn't that great, although if I was writing this as a high school student, I'd give Poly a 5. But I'm entering my 3rd year of college.
