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.

Overall my 2 years at New Tech have been very interesting and an experience. I like how my school is small and everyone knows everyone and no matter where you are you know someone you can talk to. The teacher are very friendly and will actually be there for you beyond academics help. The teachers for me have been more than just teachers. They have taught me many things in life. They are always there for when you need them. One thing I would like to see change in New Tech is the Electives. I feel like there should be more options.

I loved the atmosphere, people, and events that the New Tech @ Zion Benton East campus provided. The only area of critique from myself is the size of the campus. I would love for the New Tech High School to continue to expand throughout the years, that would be amazing!

New Tech is good for senior year. The senior teachers are the only saving grace of this school and the only things that keep this rating above 1 star. The ceilings are all water damaged, you are not allowed to have any color on the walls and the clubs here are actually the same club over and over three times. Its pathetic.

I am a sophomore at this school, and it has been a terrible school. They have put an amazing picture in my head to get me into this school, and it has been the worse experience.

New Tech HIgh @ Zion-Benton East is an exceptional school. The focus is on preparing students for college and beyond.
