Summary

High Technical Middle is a public middle school serving 324 students in grades 6-8 at 2359 Truxtun Rd. in San Diego, operating within the High Technical Middle District.

Academically, the school performs below state averages, with about 40% of students proficient in English and 30% in Math, which is significantly lower than many nearby schools like Pacific Beach Middle or Correia Middle. However, it has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 16.8-to-1, offering more potential for individual attention than some area schools. The school has shown a notable strength in serving its Special Education students, performing better than many peers in this area.

An interesting finding is the performance difference within its own charter network; High Technical Middle Mesa outperforms this campus academically despite similar resources. The school has made progress in reducing chronic absenteeism, though its rate remains slightly above the state average. Per-student spending is lower than many schools in the larger San Diego Unified district, which may relate to resource differences.
