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 had a good experience. I played a lot of sports, and I enjoyed every single one. I wouldn't change anything because it was the best school I could have gone to. I was originally at a different high school, and I had a terrible experience, so coming to this one was incredible. Every single teacher that I had, made sure that I understood what was going on and went out of their way to teach me the material. If it wasn't for switching to Middletown High School, I don't know if I would be able to be where I am at right now. It was truly a great experience, and I wish that everyone could have that experience for high school.

Middletown High School has provided many great teachers who do their best to prepare us for life as well as make sure we learn the subject they are teaching. They help us make sure we are understanding the content we are doing. One thing they need to fix is preparing us for college and the SAT before they happen and making sure we feel ready.

I've lived here for 2 years and there are lots of great things but the worst thing is how uncommitted the school district is the the arts.

As of the time of writing this review, out of the 4 reviews written there are two salty 1-star reviews that do not do this school justice. One commentor is mad they can't bring their own tablet to school and the other seems to have more to the story than just the side presented regarding mental illn...

This school overall is just terrible. Teachers/principals/guidance counselors only care about money. I would give this school negative stars if I could.

I would say this is probably the best place to learn in the non charter public school system. It has issues but if education is your goal this is the best place to go. It is what you make it
