Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>If you live in the San Diego county area you probably heard of High Tech High right. How is High Tech High different than most high schools I know they don't have AP classes and that you have to start Algebra(in 9th) and Geometry(10th) again if you already taken those courses. I checked their website though getting outside feedback would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Anybody heard about this school</p>

3

<p>All I know is they do lots of projects instead of tests.</p>

4

<p>Do you think it gives their students a disadvantage by refusing to admit AP classes. Or do you think their style is comparable to AP classes.</p>

<p>OP - there are huge differences from one charter school to another, it truly is an open market. Some are exceptionally good - others tend to serve a subset of students who struggled in traditional schools. Find out where their graduates have been accepted, find out what their SAT/ACT scores are like, if this doesn’t fit with your hopes and aspirations, look elsewhere.</p>

<p>I think that if you live in a nice area it would be better to go to your local school and if not then HTH would be a good choice.
I personally know three people who go there and two seem to have “issues” of some sort not sure if they are learning or social- probably a little of both and the third goes because he is the sibling of one of the other two. So… but I have no idea so don’t base your decision off of the three people I know.</p>

<p>if you want post the initials of the high school you would be attending and I will judge but again I am definitely not all knowing.</p>
