High Tech Middle North County does not emphasize academics. A teacher told me that the grade does not matter. The level of work for the 8th grade was equivalent to 6th grade work in other public schools. They tend to be more concerned with sharing their feelings than teaching even the basics. How you performed with your group is more important to them than the accuracy of the project. The Advisor, Xblock and SIG's are a huge waste of time. Facilities are okay, no room for the students to be active. They encourage tightly orchestrated parental involvement. The Principal is not readily available.
