GreatSchools Rating
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. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

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.

I love High Tech. It's so cool to do project learning! :) We get quite a bit of freedom and get to learn things visually versus just taking notes all the time. This school is great!

loved the way of teaching. It is a project based learning school. One thing I will always remember is that the teachers are always willing to help no matter what. I created amazing bonds with my staff & made me feel super comfortable & connected to the school. Overall I truly think High Tech High is a great school!

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...
