High Tech LA Middle School has been an amazing school to send my child. The entire school staff is supportive and my child is excited about going to school each day. We are so happy we found HTLA!

Horrifying lack of control and consequences for bullying behavior. If you are interested can your child being physically safe while at school? This is not the place for you
8/1/2023
The teachers at the middle school are kind and helpful but they need help managing all the physical fights that break out. There is bullying at this school, be prepared. And the administration does not address the problem. Also, this is not an LGBTQ friendly student body.
