More of the IB high school students in Polk County Public Schools
IB high school students take some of the most rigorous courses offered in Polk County Public Schools, including IB and Advanced Placement classes, designed to be on par with college coursework. They also take end-of-year exams and must pass those to earn credit.
In order to receive an IB Diploma a student must earn passing scores on all six of their IB exams and must also complete their Creativity, Action and Service project, which “requires that students actively learn from the experience of doing real tasks beyond the classroom.” Finally, they must also research and write a 4,000-word, extended essay due their senior year.

According to the school district’s website, the district participates in the “Summer Breakspot” program, offering free meals to children while school is out.
Meals are available for all children 18 years old and under, as well as adult students in special education programs. Children do not have to be present at distribution sites to receive meals, but parents or guardians will need to show a form of ID for any child who is not there.
