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.

As a senior at HTHI, this school is very good if you want to pursue something in the arts or engineering. We have one of the best robotics team in the county, and for being a smaller school, bonds with students and teachers are stronger than most school. Not only do we have liberty station next to us, where we can adventure off to during lunch time and purchase food, but also liberty public market and in n out right down the street. The food options are endless, and so are the fun activities.

I have really enjoyed my time at High Tech High International. I have always felt like I can come to my teachers for support. The teachers and other staff have done an amazing job at creating a welcoming and warm learning environment. With this in mind I feel as though students will take advantage of the kindness from the teachers and staff. I feel as though teachers could be stricter and enforce rules and deadlines more.

High Tech High International is nothing short of amazing. The school culture is amazing, the school really prepares students for the real world. However, it is not strong in the Math and English department. The school could also use more funding.

Students and teachers couldn't have been nicer, but education was seriously lacking, which is why I left after one year.

Dear nervous parents, I hope my review of this school will help you truly understand more about this school and what it means to me. I will address a few points of criticism 1) HTHI curriculum; HTHI is not about the content you learn but rather the critical thinking process. It is true that I did no...
