"I am a senior at poly, and over the past 4 years this school has improved to an even greater high quality place of learning. Poly offers many rigorous curriculums that will enhance a child's learning capacity. As, a senior I am able to guide the underclassmen through the basics and what will help them to succeed here."

"When my daughter was in middle school she was never challenged academically and often teased about being smart. Not so at Poly. She is very happy there because she is with kids who are as driven and focused as she. Through Poly's rigorous curriculum and dedicated teachers she is finally being challenged.Teachers are very involved with the students. They stay after for coach classes. Many teachers are coaches and club sponsors of the extra-curricular activities offered. There is a real feeling of belonging at the school. Students are very proud of the fact that they go to the best school in the state of Maryland and will not do anything to tarnish that image.Poly provides a private school education on a public school budget. Poly students are accepted by some of the most prestigious universities in the country. I wouldn't have my child anywhere else. It's the best!"

"I am currently a Junior at BPI and it's a great school. Almost my entire 8th grade class entered Poly in our freshman year. Dr. Wilson is a great principal and has really done a lot to raise the standards of the school. He is an excellant leader. However, even an axcellant leader can't turn a bad school into a good, so Poly speaks for itself. Poly is THE BEST Baltimore City School, public or private. If you ask me, it's the best in the state. Poly is big on academics, athletics, and other extra - curriculars. It is the perfect school for anyone who likes anything, and everyone likes at least something. Poly's atmoshpere is amazing and I interact with students of all grade levels. "

"My son is a senior about to graduate from Poly and loving every day. We live in Baltimore County and pay for him to attend Poly. The education received cannot be compared to any other school in MD. When he applied to colleges, he was accepted at every one based on his academics."

"When I first came to poly I was already an intelligent person but I wasn't very organized and know I am. Poly also shwed me the many different types of people in the world and it is showing me so much about everything dealing with life."

"This is a great college preparatory school. To be a public school in Baltimore City, Poly flies higher than all other schools in it's district. I found that my child was challenged by the curriculum and as a college student, she flew through. Also, compared to the city's diversity, Poly is a melting pot. It is an excellent environment for a young adult. "
