GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Since starting classes in the fall of 2023, I have had a great experience at Polk State Collegiate High School. I am friendly with every student I encounter, and we all push each other to succeed. All the professors are kind and approachable and have many resources and opportunities available to help students achieve their goals. The environment is well kept and welcoming, and I have learned so much about a variety of topics that I would not get in a traditional high school.

This school prepared me for so much and helped me reach that next level in my education I wasn't getting in a normal high school. With that being said I have never had a bad experience with anyone or anything at this school. All the professors and teachers are always looking to help their students to make sure they succeed.

I loved my time at Polk State. I'm so thankful to them for helping me get where I needed to go in completing my academic career. I received my Associated Degree from them.
