We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My favorite part about New Tech is the culture and community. Everybody is here to learn and support you, and because we're a small school, I feel so connected to each and every one of my peers and teachers.

New Tech really is a special school. It is unlike any other school I have been at before. I feel like I really know everyone in my grade and all of my teachers. Because the school is so small, it is hard not to create connections with your peers and teachers. I wish New Tech did more to prepare us for lab and lecture courses. I also wish some classes were less strict on project-based learning because it is not always effective for subjects like foreign language and math.

CCNTH is a small, project-based public school within LMUSD. It offers a unique learning environment with relevant, practical, hands-on projects that engage the students and community in interactive ways. The small environment means that over the four years of attendance, your child will get to know...
