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 daughter has attended Metro Tech High since her freshman year and she is now a Senior. The school has excellent teachers and they have supported my daughter to follow her dreams and goals. This is an excellent career high school. I never hear about student fights either which is wonderful.
