One comment about High Tech High

Our son attended High Tech High and we felt he was treated as a mature person and encouraged to develop his personal insterests and provided opportunities for growth. The school has a very supportive parent community. The project based education program may have been weak in math, however the school provides community college level math instruction after school hours on the campus. We would encourage parents and students in San Diego to consider attending HTH.
