School Overview

Polytechnic High sits in the heart of Long Beach, a city with a genuine sense of pride in its diversity and blue-collar roots, and "Poly" very much reflects that character. The school lands solidly in the middle of the pack statewide, making it a realistic choice for families who want a comprehensive high school experience without the pressure of a hyper-competitive environment. With a storied athletic tradition and a wide range of programs, it tends to appeal to families looking for a school where kids can find their niche — whether that's on the field, in the classroom, or somewhere in between.
