Mid wood High school at Brooklyn college is a very good high school. Mid wood has a lot of opportunities and activities you can do while you're in school. This high school provided support from your teacher in each step of the way. This high school starts to prepare you for your career and college as soon as you walk into the building.

Horrible in dealing with personal issues (sexual assault and stuff) and unsafe environment with minimal security that doesn’t stop intruders from entering. They don’t have security protocols like metal detectors nor ID scanning like other Brooklyn schools

Amazing school! The teachers are very good and they give lots of work, but not a lot to overwork yourself. You learn a lot from them and they are super nice. The students are also super nice.
