Just adding to my review. IPoly offers sports through Southlands Christian School (kids are transported 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

This rating is specifically on my experience with the office staff and a phone conversation I had with the registrar Shelton. She was completely rude right from the start and and it actually continued to get worse as the conversation went on. Not a very good first impression of the school especially when she's the first person you get when you call.

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

As an iPoly alum, I can vouch from personal experience that this school is a unique, 5 star worthy high school. The school offers tremendous resources that allows their students to excel in academics, community service, and even public speaking. By taking classes at Cal Poly both my junior and senior year, I walked into college satisfying many G.E.s and enrolling in as a standing sophomore. Working in groups throughout my four years has made it much easier to interact with diverse students at college. On top of this, the teachers truly care for their students. I've had teachers miss their
