High Tech High International

Caution. This school takes more pride with itself than with the students.

This place ain’t so bad! I used to work here and what sets this place apart are the people. There aren’t a lot of them.
No, seriously. There are only like 450 people in the whole building and that’s small for a high school! And for the better! Some people really get to know one another and teachers like to say «no one falls through the cracks». People do connect here and bullying seems to be less than average. But who knows what’s really happening on the internet! I will say there are some gems of people — students and staff alike — that really make it a great place.
The teachers here are super but its still a pretty ordinary school despite the cool immersion trips and «projects». As always kids are told what to do and teachers suffer the stress of seeking the impossible to attain ‘student — parent — state’ balance.
Oh dear, I think the extra stress in this community comes from wanting «projects» to achieve pretty-​looking materials to show off to parents and investors. Not all learning comes in pretty packages! Careful there.
Overall, slightly better than average. If your kid is really into marketing this is a great school to go to.
