== Academics ==
Poly is a longtime "magnet school" for over 141 years,  with specialized courses drawing students from across Baltimore's regular district boundaries in the [[Baltimore City Public Schools]] system (including a number of additional students from surrounding suburban counties in [[Maryland]] paying supplemental tuition). Admission to the Polytechnic Institute is highly competitive. Course concentrations include: the ''Honors [[Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics|S.T.E.M.]] Program''; the ''Ingenuity Project'' offering advanced science, math, and academic research courses; ''AP Capstone'' emphasizing Social Sciences and Humanities; Computer Science; and the [[United States Air Force]]-sponsored Air Force [[Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps]] ([[JROTC]]).<ref>{{cite web|title=Academic Programs|publisher=bpi.edu|url=https://bpi.edu/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=384169&type=d|access-date=September 15, 2019|archive-date=July 27, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190727011050/https://www.bpi.edu/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=384169&type=d|url-status=live}}</ref> In its 2019 nationwide survey of STEM programs spanning 2015&ndash;2019, ''[[Newsweek]]'' magazine ranked Poly No. 36 among U.S. high schools.<ref>{{cite news|title=The Top 500 STEM High Schools|date=November 8, 2019|work=[[Newsweek]]|url=https://www.newsweek.com/americas-best-stem-high-schools-2020|access-date=November 16, 2019|archive-date=June 5, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210605235928/https://www.newsweek.com/americas-best-stem-high-schools-2020|url-status=live}}</ref>
