High Tech LA Middle

Tucked into Van Nuys in the western San Fernando Valley, High Tech LA Middle draws families who want something a little different from a traditional middle school experience — with a tech-forward approach that fits right in with LA's innovation culture. Scores land solidly in the middle of the pack statewide, so it's a reasonable fit for families prioritizing a project-based, hands-on learning environment over raw test performance. Van Nuys itself is a busy, diverse, working-class neighborhood with easy freeway access, and the school attracts families from across the Valley who are willing to make the commute for a charter experience with a distinct identity.
