What City Polytechnic High School does

City Polytechnic High School Of Engineering, Architecture, and Technology (DBA "City Poly") is a public 9-14 P-Tech (Pathways in Technology Early College High School) operated under the NYC Department of Education, located at 105 Tech Place, 3rd Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11201. The school serves approximately 120 incoming freshmen per year drawn from a citywide applicant pool of roughly 3,000, with admissions determined through the Education Option (ED. OPT.) process based on academic performance, attendance, and a random lottery. Students pursue a six-year program combining rigorous high school coursework with dual-credit college classes, culminating in a no-cost Associate's degree from CUNY College of Technology through one of three career pathways (engineering, architecture, or technology).

The school's core academic product is built around industry-standard engineering and architecture software training — AutoCAD, REVIT, Autodesk Inventor, and SketchUp — supplemented by the GOLD (Goal-Oriented Learning Development) small-group academic intervention program, a Work-Based Learning program with industry partners offering internships and career exposure, and a Poly PRIDE values framework. The school is staffed by 52 named personnel including a Principal, Assistant Principal, Dean, Business Manager, grade-level counselors, social workers, an Early College Liaison, and a Partnership Coordinator. Supporting technology infrastructure includes Google Classroom, SyncGrades (parent grade access), Newsela, Operoo (emergency/parent communication), CUNY FIRST, and an Edlio-powered website.

The institution is government-funded through NYC DOE budget allocations and state education funding, with no tuition charged to students and all students receiving free school meals. Revenue is not commercially disclosed; the school also operates a Donorbox donation portal for supplementary private fundraising. The school maintains presence on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube, and runs an annual admissions cycle featuring open houses and high school fairs from September through December.
