I am a student at New Tech, and I personally believe, this school is not for people who are not straight A kids. I mean, I've been here two years, but I think this might be my last. Sometimes if you don't understand something, then having to go up and talk to the teachers makes you feel stupid. If you

There are some good classes, like Digital Media, where the teacher actually walks around and assists you if he notices you are having a difficult time with something. Overall, I think New Tech is an alright school, as long as you are willing to work. Read less

I currently go to New Tech. It's a very good school, compared to Vintage and Napa high. Unlike the other schools, the teachers help one on one. Also, you have a lot of freedom but you must follow the motto 'Trust, Respect, Responsibility.' A lot of people take Tech for granted and usually leave after

This was a great school to go to. If your child is looking for a challenge from the typical High School then think about New Technology High School. Yes the child and the parent have to put considerably more effort into their education than in a typical high school but if you want your child to excel

Being able to speak in front of others and talk about a subject from a prepared speech or one that has to be realized at last second are great skills to learn and grow in. Yes a child gives up certain things like sports to go here but if they weren't that big into them before then what are they truly losing but being teased? Read less

This school although great with some exceptional teachers is far too biased. Atmosphere is great, idea is great. Administration horrible. They turned this happiest, loyalest student into a a greatly disappointed student. There area a few greatteachers!

Excellent academic programs. Our child has become so interested in so many different subjects. He shares with his family what he has learned each day with excitement.
