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.

Great school with lots of different things that allow you to understand the avenues in life you want to venture into, whether that be music, engineering, cooking, fashion, you name it.

The best part of going to Middleton is when you find those few teachers you can connect with and are fun to have in class. The only thing I would really complain about is the non-faculty bathrooms, the men's bathrooms' are dirty quite often.

this school has a great extracurricular program, looks nice, and most everything else is mid. that being said, they do nothing to address bullying, the diversity is literally nothing, everyone is white and rich. it is super cliquey, and if you excel at reading/writing instead of math, good luck. if you get bullied, you get bullied by a whole clique, probably two cliques. if you report it. they'll tell you that it's dealt with but it's not. if you report it again, and they set up a meeting with you, don't go to it, they'll just victim blame you for 45 minutes. some teachers are amazing, and some are truly terrible at their job, and you wonder every day how exactly this man still has a job. there is some incredibly predatory behavior that goes unaddressed. if you go to clark street, don't tell anyone at mhs. you'll get bullied to hell and back. and whatever you do, don't join the girls swim team.

This school is great, teachers are actually willing to help and will not judge, they will try to make something work for you. However, if your child has a major illness like Major Depressive Disorder, Social Anxiety, and/or trauma with literally anything, whether it'd be a sexual assault, death in t...

Great high school, staff, teachers and students. Our kids had an excellent academic experience here, (including many AP courses), which challenged and prepared them well for college. While no school or experience is flawless, it is all part of the process to prepare us for the challenges that the re...

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.
