The teachers aren't teachers; throughout one year here, I have NOT learned a single thing in any subject. The focus on project based learning leads to inadequate time to cover the material. All of the students from this school are months behind those from the students that go to the main high school.The teachers are terrible. The education is only half baked, as well. The administration at BNTH@W is horrible too. The counselor does not work to accommodate your schedule, and does not counsel anybody. In the Honors US History course at the school, the teacher is not allowed to teach the first half of US History because it is too offensive by the school's standards. I feel less prepared for college than ever before. The only teacher at this school that teach at a level similar to that of the main high school (that I've had) is the Physics teacher. He explains every step and actually teaches to his students.Please do not send your child to New Tech or claim that it is a better learning environment. Mac Books do not make you "college-ready."

Belton New Tech is amazing!!! It started in 2011 as a transformation of the former Waskow school. All classes are taught through project based learning. Students may participate in UIL classes such as band, athletics, choir and CATE courses at BHS. The teachers are incredible and really care about students.
