[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im a Tech parent. Love the school but it is very challenging for my child.  Children are given options to be on the biotechnology, information technology or engineering path that starts in the 10th grade but selected in the 9th with the option to change before the 10th. My child is doing well with her STEM classes but not well in English b/c it is equally demanding. Yes he takes a foreign language and they even have Mandarin. They have state of the art equipment to learn from and very dedicated, qualified and energetic teachers. Its takes a lot to be accepted into the school and alot to stay. Children have the option to test out of classes to take a more challenging course so to me it means they get the individual child. I know a child taking Alegbra 2, honors geometry, honors world history, honors English etc in the 9th grade. 
I think all students are encourage to join an after school activity to be apart of the community. And I think all students have to take JROTC. They have community and collegiate partnerships. This is not a school were students are left to figure out things on their own therefore parents are strongly encouraged to work with the school to develop the whole child so they won't get discourage by the rigors of the environment. I love the school and very honored my child was selected. The neighborhood is safe. They need and aquatic center. Im hearing of students being jumped by Dunbar students for clothing. The building is huge and shared with their middle school. [/quote]

Wait, all students have to take JROTC?!!!!! Why on earth?[/quote]
