High Tech Middle North County School

Posted: March 6, 2026

Cuando estaba buscando diferentes escuelas para mi hija, High Tech era la única escuela que me dejaba recogerla a una hora flexible y a veces siempre salía tarde del trabajo y otras escuelas me decían que si llegaba tarde tendrían que poner a mi hija en un grupo de cuidados posteriores que terminaba a las 6 y no podía recogerla a las seis. Así que me gustó mucho por esa razón específica. Y también yo me podia comunicar con los maestros y eso me gustaba.

Our family has had such a wonderful experience at High Tech Middle with both our kids. Our son is currently in 7th grade there, and our daughter graduated a few years ago from their 8th grade (and is now in their High School's 10th grade). My husband and I feel really grateful to be apart of the High Tech community or Village as their refer to it. The school is smaller with roughly 330 students and the size really makes a difference. All my kids teachers really took the time to know them and took time to build a real relationship with them and have continued to be great mentors to them. I know that my kids are being genuinely cared for and the teachers and staff are invested in helping them grow both academically and personally. Many of the teachers have been there for their entire careers and the passion and devotion in their work really shows.

The project based model that they use to tach make the learning feel engaging and meaningful and the students are bored just memorizing fact after facts for regurgitation and then rinse and repeat. They are collaborating with their peers and exploring topics and real world issues. They are connecting with real world society today not just when they turn 18. The electives are also really amazing. My daughter got to care for chickens during their gardening elective. My son's favorite elective so far has been rock climbing. The other electives include batting cages, video gaming, cooking, ceramics, theater, and street hockey. Which the theater productions are amazing for a smaller school. Ms. Perro is not only a gold standard teacher who theater productions are next level.

Looking back , my husband and I feel like the school prepared our daughter really well for high school and college preparation. Overall, High Tech Middle feels like so much more than a school. It is a supportive and creative community. My kids have felt supported, encouraged, and inspired by their class time. We are so lucky to have both our kids apart of their school community and our family apart of the High Tech Village.

El tiempo que llevan estudiando mis hijas es High Tech High North county les ha gustado y están felices lo único que falla es que cuando hay un problema de bullying o falta de respeto entre los estudiantes no hacen por mejorar la llamada de atención.. es triste que dejen pasar eso pero en cuestión de aprendizaje está muy bien me gusta, hay maestros que no tienen paciencia y hacen que el alumno no ponga interés en mejorar … por favor mucha atención eso … gracias

A lot of behaviors with little supervision. Middle schoolers on the loose. The lessons are not as they appear. More like diy arts and crafts.

Where do I begin? I have a lot to be thankful for. First my daughter who is an alumni of HTH North County and now a 3rd year college Pharmacy honor student at University of Connecticut with academic scholarship as well. If it wasn't from HTH my daughter would not be where she is now. I believe a strong partnership between parents and teachers makes a successful student. That's what HTH is all about. I have a son who currently a student at HTH middle and I am very proud of what he has become. He loves to go to school and hates missing a day of it. Student learn to be confident leaders and articulate public speakers. HTH students become problem solver not problem makers. Everyone respects each other without prejudice. Amazing teachers and one of kind principal.

Our son started 6th grade here this year and so far is really enjoying it. He feels included, heard, understood and enjoys the group participation style to which the school is committed.

He often comes home excited to tell us about his projects, for example, making shoes (learning measurements) building garden boxes (learning how to use tools), and learning about plant cells by relating it to his own body/self. He learns while doing instead of this constant rote memorization which hinders deep understanding and critical thinking, so often enforced in mainstream schools! He also does not come home with hours of homework like his previous EUSD elementary school, which affords him time to have fun and be a kid, instead of stressed with schoolwork compounding the feeling of not liking school.

HTHMNC has lots of on campus events where teachers are present with their families and children, and the school encourages us to bring our families. Teachers are so supportive, responsive, and patient, and really welcome a team partnership along with parents to support their children. The advisors make family home visits to really get to know the children and their families which goes a long way in building trust and relationships so our son always has an adult to go to whether at school or at home.

We are very pleased with our decision to move our son here. It might not be for everyone but for those it works for, it makes a world of difference in how these students feel about school!

My kids love the school and teachers.

If you do not mind below average teachers in the middle school and the fact your kid may have to carry the team they are assigned to because there is little accountability for poor performing team members. What is disappointing is the elementary school is good. This school loses good teachers because the pay is better everywhere else.

My son enjoys school but this year, we saw teachers leave and be replaced by young student teachers, and the director being changed for this upcoming year as well. There isn't a lot of commonality between different teachers within the same grade. There are problems with grading being inconsistent and several times during the year we had to contact a teacher to let her know the grades she posted (when she posted them) were incorrect. They were updated eventually but that created a lot of frustration at home with our student and us! The assignments in the different projects seem to be piled on at the end, right before exhibitions are to happen, and our student sometimes does not seem to know what is expected in terms of assignments. Digital portfolios are not updated frequently enough by teachers in order to be able to tell what the assignments are to be able to get clarification at home. It is a good school, but organization of teaching staff seems to be lacking a bit.

My son has attended for the past 2 years and has really come a long way in school. They seem to know how to nurture the inner creative side of each child and encourage them to be who they are. I had once heard someone describe this school as a misfit place, and wondered HOW when it's a lottery? I now know it's just that at this school, the kids get to express themselves without fear of being bullied or riduiculed. It's an artistic place, with drama, football, skateboarding ramps, fun electives, group work iin classes, iPads and Apple laptops instead of books,a dn plenty of student input. What an amazing place.

My child attended this school from 6th through 8th grade. My child has had a good experience, however, turn over of teachers and other staff has been a concern. We have seen teachers leave during the school year three times, usually replaced by student teachers. The teachers have been caring and creative, but I can say the curriculum sometimes lacks rigor, grading can be confusing, and the leadership was not consistent and did not communicate well with families or parent volunteers. If your child is independent and self motivated they will do well here. The presentations of learning and student led conferences help students to reflect on their learning experience and gain public speaking skills. I really believe in project based learning, but leadership and overall school spirit is lacking. They could do better. i understand there is new director for next year, that may help.

HTMNC is an awesome school. I really love its small student/teacher ratio. It's like a family. In the beggining of the school year I was a little shy but now with help of SLC and POLs. Those conferences helped me take away my shyness and become a natural public speaker. I also love the project based learning. I love it because its all hands on. In conclusion, this a really great school and I would recommend this school to everyone. Student Ambassador Cory Clark

I am a 8th student at High Tech Middle North County. I enjoyed the projects at this school when I started 6th grade. The teachers are always available and encouraging. I learned how to use apple applications, public speaking, agriculture, and performing arts. I am excited about the project that we are doing called All the Places You'll Go. Students have the opportunity to make a real life goal portfolio. HTMNC Student Kenny Clark

This school is okay for education, but they don't know how to handle people who get in trouble. the person who tells the administration is always the story they use. they never listen to your story and you always get in trouble, in 6th grade my friend got his computer privileges taken away and he almost failed 6th grade. would not reccomend this school

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.
