Application for the 2024-25 school year is available: October 2, 2023
Entrance exam testing and interviewing begins: Mid-October, 2023
Application deadline for early acceptance: November 20, 2023
Early acceptance notifications begin: Mid-January, 2024

Applications will be accepted on a first come, first served basis after the lottery deadline. IPoly has a limited capacity of 136 students per grade level. Once spaces are full, students will be placed on a waiting list, which will be valid through the next school year.
Students with Accommodations: If the student has an IEP and/or 504 plan and you would like accomodations during the entrance exam, please submit the documents to the admissions office and call to clarify accomodations request. For students who are accepted and eligible to receive Special Education Services, an IEP meeting will be held with IPoly staff and the student’s home district to determine placement and appropriate services needed for student success. If a student is eligible for 504 accommodations, please submit documentation upon acceptance.
Ongoing Report Card Request: After submitting the application, parents are asked to submit semester report cards as they become available, with the final report card submitted no later than June 30th. This verifies the applicant’s GPA is still meeting our minimum requirements.
Final Evaluation: After a student is accepted, a final evaluation will be completed. IPoly reserves the right to withdraw an offer to any student should significant academic or disciplinary problems arise, whereby the student no longer meets IPoly eligibility requirements.
Enrollment Policy: IPoly students enroll in college preparatory coursework, commonly known as the A-G course sequence. Every graduate is required to complete the A-G course sequence in order to receive a diploma (LACOE Resolution No. 14:2005-2006). IPoly students who are at risk of not passing the required A-G coursework while enrolled at IPoly may be sent back to their local school district.
Sibling Priority Enrollment: Siblings of currently enrolled students are given priority status in our admissions process in the case of a waiting list. This is done as a courtesy to families, and to assist in transportation. Siblings must still meet entrance requirement qualifications and pass the entrance exam.
Nondiscrimination Policy: IPoly High School is administered by Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE), and carefully adheres to LACOE’s non-discriminatory policy. LACOE programs and activities shall be free from discrimination, including harassment, with respect to a student’s race, color, ancestry, national origin, ethnicity, ethnic group identification, citizenship status, immigration status, age, religion, marital or parental status, physical or mental disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, or genetic information; the perception of one or more of such characteristics; or association with a person or group with one or more of these actual or perceived characteristics.
