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 think that overall Middleton High school is a very good school. They are ranked highly in most aspects. Improvements I would make would be with the hall staff/ security. They are not very productive or helpful. Another improvement I would make would be consistency with teachers. They can be teaching the same course and yet they can be known for not teaching well and students doing poorly.

My best experiences in High School were through the Fine Arts department, where MHS does not lack. Both the marching band, theatre, and choir departments were lovely. There is a large element of school spirit surrounding sports. Due to the location of the school, there is a certain culture-- finding Jeeps and Teslas in the student parking lot and things like that.

The school has a considerable focus on the athletic department, especially the football team. While this is good for anyone on said football team, it often takes away from other sports or department's importance and funding. Additionally, the school does not try to improve students' mental health or take suggestions for improvement from students like they claim to.

Good school but has issues and if you need help with a serious issue from upper level admin and Superintendent Don Johnson good luck. Very disrespectful and pompous man. They need to put students and parents as a priority and not their egos and keep trying to protect the teachers and administrators.

There are lots of opportunities for the Advanced Placement students, and, there are a lot of resources for students who are self motivated and have the self initiative to study. However, the fact that students start every other day at 9:20 makes no sense. It is a waste of time, most students sleep i...
