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.

I transfered to Middle College my sophmore year along with 1 other student. Being that the school is more academically rigurous that most South Central LA schools, as it's a dual enrollment school, neither did the other transfer or myself receive the guidence or resources to get us on track of being succesfull in our dual careers. I eventually caught the hang of it but it was nearly too late by then. The sole purpose of transferring there was to obtain an A.A. degree and if it wasn't for me asking questions and advocating for myself I wouldn't have come as far as I've came. I hope to be graduating with my A.A. in Liberal Arts. Although that's a huge accomplishment, I wish more focus was placed on myself and that other student as the only 2 transfers of that year and since the school is so small, with a maximum of 350 students, I don't see any reason why it wasn't. Other than that, my experience at Middle College has been great. The staff is kind and the students hold themselmes high.

The school is really small, so everyone knows each other. I like it because it's small. The teachers are passionate and care, and the staff are able to build positive and personal relationships with students.

So far it's been wonderful, it's only my second year but it really does show how much the teachers and staff really care about you and your education.

I agree with the review from 2024 that emphasizes this school's dedication to college-preparatory work and is not ideal if you are a student who wants to prioritize a social life. It all depends on what your priorities are for high school. As a first-generation low-income student, my priority was ac...

As a student, it is true that we receive good quality education. However, in any addiction outside of education, this school is s horrible fit. The main incentive to attending this still was the college classes, electives and enrichment classes pre-covid. As of now, we have strictly core classes, ap...

Middle College High School, is one of the best school in L.A. There has been many students over the recent years that were able to graduate and also obtain and AA degree from LASC. The school also gives students easy access to many extra curricular activities, for example sports. If you want to play...
