Teachers are very polite, but a lot of bullying. I don't need to say anything else because this is not acceptable.

As an alumnus of the school, I can say that my high school experience was great. I still remember…read moremy group projects and love the way the curriculum was project based. I am reminded of the quote from Albert Einstein, "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." Ipoly understands that we learn in different ways and seeks to empower students to reach their best potential rather than limit them based on traditional standards. Ipoly is for the exceptional student looking for a different experience. I was always decent at academics, but thrived with hands-on projects. That's where I learned the most and, honestly, that's where real life happens anyways. If you are that student that people always said "you have so much potential" iPoly may be the way to help you realize it. If you are more rigid and prefer traditional methods, then iPoly is not for you. Also, you will not find better teachers than at iPoly.

Absolutely ZERO stars if I could…read more I transferred out of this school for more reason than should have EVER happened. While at this school not only is there an unbearable amount of busy work, most of the teachers don't seem to even care about teaching. Specifically I had issues with Mrs. Thinnes, Mr. Hanke, Ms. Pellegrini, a guidance counselor Ms. Vasquez, and the Vice Principal that I have blocked his name out of my memory and even a student. Mrs. Thinnes - in my entire freshman year maybe stood up at most three times to actively teach to the class. At one point she left an entire freshman class by themselves and in her words told us to all listen to "Daddy (classmates' name)". The classmate was visibly very disgusted. In addition to this Mrs. Thinnes did not inform me that an entire semester of homework I gave directly to her she did not count cause I did not submit it online taking a picture even though she gave me the papers and added my grade on the paper. Mr. Hanke - very obviously favors the teenage girls. And within my first month of freshman year was offering to all the girls to "fix your hair for picture day" then reacted to touch my hair while I while sitting when he was walking by. I stood up and told him don't touch me and he tried to play it off like a joke. Ms. Pellegrini - picks favorites in class and makes it very well known which students she doesn't like by simply not teaching them. After I had been having health issues for a month when I came back to class I asked for an alternative assignment for a in class discussion because I was not in class and everything for that assignment was verbal. When I asked her she made it well known that it was more work for her since I wasn't in class. I told her that I was out of class for health reasons and she told me that we would have to see if she has the time to make me an assignment. This teacher also often told students "Cry me a river" when they were having a difficult time. Ms. Vasquez (counselor) - I had set up meetings with her once a week to discuss a plan of how to improve my grades and while telling her difficulties I was having with teachers and other student she dismissed it and told me that I shouldn't worry about it cause I can't control that..... I was nearly failing in multiple classes. (Assistant Principal) William Wallace - when parents set up a meeting with my parents, myself, and Mr. Wallace after I had explained how I wasn't getting answers on where to find my catch up work or how to improve my grades he told me that "respectfully" it's "a lot of excuses" and that I just "wasn't trying". Meanwhile dealing with all theses teachers at 14-15 years old I was also telling staff about how a classmate had been confessing inappropriate things to me regularly. This classmate was in every single one of my classes at my table and would tell me about how he wanted to "commit genocide" and constantly talked about german war tactics. Repeatedly this classmate waited till no one else was listening to tell me things in class and even after I told staff he was still in my class at my table for months. As far as I know they said they would "talk to him" and I transferred out soon after.

Great teachers, good people that fill the school, quiet atmosphere. No sports but you learn to live…read morewith it. It's located on the campus of Cal Poly Pomona and select juniors and seniors are eligible to take college courses at Cal Poly. The school is now home to a new facility which is quite nice, even though the old portables were better in my opinion (proud alumni lol). Only drawback for me was the way the math department was run (when I attended). I felt like I wasn't challenged taking algebra 2 and "algebra review" as a junior and senior respectively; especially since I was a transfer student who previously took algebra 2 at my previous school. The curriculum is designed to keep students somewhat even by having everyone follow the same coursework... which is cool and all, but I just wanted more of a challenge and felt like I shouldn't have to spend extra time out of my day attending the courses I wanted at local JC's or through Cal Poly. It was just odd coming from more of a traditional high school to a project based one where everyone stayed on the same course. The projects that were assigned every year (for me only junior and senior) were built to challenge students on more real life situations. One thing that I really benefited from this school was my development of public speaking and realizing how important teamwork is due to the amount of speeches as well as the semester long group projects assigned. All in all good school... just don't give into procrastination here as it tends to grow on some students.

Just adding to my review. IPoly offers sports through Southlands Christian School (kids are…read moretransported there for practices after school by bus). College classes are offered free of charge through Mt.Sac on the campus of iPoly, after regular school hours. Kids can also take courses through Cal Poly for a very low cost ($10 or so). They learn so much through group projects & problem-based learning but also through individual assignments & projects. For junior & senior year the kids are offered SAT, ACT prep workshops free of charge. All in all it was a great well rounded education, my son is in college now & says this school prepared him very well.

Pomona High school is probably the worst school I have ever been to , probably at a tie with The…read moreSchool of Arts and Enterprise . The principal Mr. Fasting and the dean of students , Ms. Solorazano or however her name is spelt , are disrespectful and they pick favorites and are also racist . Multiple times I was suspended for things , such as a verbal altercation and talking in the hallway . I wouldn't recommend enrolling your child in this school , and also the school is simply too big for them to pay attention to all of the kids and when they do pay attention to the kids , they tear them down , they talk to them in a way , they talk down to them and it's not a good feeling and in my opinion you should have never got a job working with students if you're just going to suspend them for the little things . And make them feel worse than they probably already so . I don't think keeping someone home will make a person learn to go to class , and as a student at Pomona High that has went through all of this , it doesn't feel nice and nobody should ever go through it . And I'm not gonna rate this school because they don't have a 0 star , just kidding . It won't let me submit this until I rate it so you get one star . And this campus is super dirty and has rodents .
