Total quality! This school ceases to amaze me! I have two children at this school. Both of my children have grown academically, socially, and emotionally. This school pays attention to all of their students in fact they have SLC's (student led conferences) where students have a conference with parents and teacher, which includes telling you their strengths and weaknesses. Students are also given access to the latest technology. I also highly recommend this school for parents who care about their children's individuality and the quality of their education. This is a wonderful school, teachers, and academic coach's are very patient and work closely with children in the classroom.

We are so thankful that our son got into HTMNC for 6th grade. This school is top of the line. High Tech all the way. No books and everything is online. My son is so much more technologically advanced than his friends who stayed in the regular school system. I believe this is the key to a rewarding college experience and a brilliant professional career. I love how it feels like a private school and everyone is very friendly. They teach the kids a different way than the regular, old public schools. They have them do things more hands-on. They actually LEARN, not just memorize to pass tests. High Tech Middle North County is the key to a great education. I believe in this school 100%.

Came to HTMNC after attending the local public school and being pushed through 6th grade with no grade higher than a D. They have an excellent education model, preparing kids for the real world and the way business really works. Teachers are caring and motivated. Additional help is always available for anything from academics to personal issues. The administration seems overly concerned with adherence to district requirements and preservation of the school as a whole rather than the students individually. The teachers make up for it though.

Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
