The school's 9th-grade students also outperform the state average in PreACT Secure/English Language Arts and PreACT Secure/Science, but the 10th-grade students underperform in several areas.

Despite some areas of strength, Polo Community High School's overall performance is mixed, with both successes and challenges. The school's higher per-student spending of $15,599, compared to the state average, may contribute to its relatively strong performance in certain academic areas. However, the school's small size and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may also present unique challenges that the school is working to address.
