GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The best part of Metro Tech are the CTE courses. My daughter is taking Early Childhood Education and loves working with the younger children. This program has given her a great foundation for a lifelong career.

This school has been amazing so far in my life, being very inclusive towards everyone who is involved in the school. The school is great with dealing with mental health and student spirit such as celebrating different events like winter Holidays, college fairs, and job fairs. The school extracurriculars are very from different passions my classmates and I love. Overall, it's a great school in my opinion.

My experience in metro has been great, lots of teachers do your job great and are always there to help out students. The worst part is that it is a pretty average size school, so it's really crowded. I would love to see a soccer field because many of us want that as a sport and we can't get it because metro doesn't have the funds for it. Metro tech has many clubs that everyone likes. For example, I joined the weightlifting club because it's something that I really liked and thanks to it I feel better physically and mentally and I was able to compete with other schools.

My daughter has attended Metro Tech High since her freshman year and she is now a Senior. The school has excellent teachers and they have supported my daughter to follow her dreams and goals. This is an excellent career high school. I never hear about student fights either which is wonderful.
