The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students.

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.

I was pleasantly surprised at what a great school we found in HTHNC. From the administration to the teaching staff as well as support staff every person takes pride in teaching and growing my child into a kind, productive intelligent young adult. The old adage it takes a village is exactly what HTHNC is, an amazing village of educators

High Tech High offers project-based learning and college readiness but fail to prepare students for the general academic environment of a university. These large-scale projects replace core curriculum inadequately. Aside from academics, the small scale and culture of the school is generally more compassionate than larger schools.

It's a easy school to pass. They try so hard to make the school one big community and do a lot of things in groups. It's a project based school which makes it unique. We don't get a lot of tests and everything is hands on work.

The teachers are very well experienced but the curriculums they follow are way under grade level. The school is 2/5 in my opinion -DOES NOT MEAN IT IS WORSE THAN OTHER SCHOOLS. It is better than traditional schools such as the huge one across the street. But it still has a lot of room for improvemen...
