The '''Baltimore Polytechnic Institute''', colloquially referred to as '''BPI''', '''Poly''', and '''The Institute''', is a US public [[High school#United States|high school]]  founded in 1883. Established as an all-male manual trade / vocational high school by the [[Baltimore City Council]] and the [[Baltimore City Public Schools]], it is now a coeducational academic institution since 1974, that emphasizes sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics ("STEM"). It is located on a {{convert|53|acre|ha|adj=on}} tract of land in North Baltimore on the east bank of the [[Jones Falls]] stream (running north to south). B.P.I. and the adjacent still all-girls population of the [[Western High School (Maryland)|Western High School]] are located on the same huge joint campus at the northwest corner of West Cold Spring Lane and Falls Road.
