Overall, Middletown has been a good experience. The lack of diversity makes it hard for students of color to feel welcomed with their peers. The teachers are amazing here but the education is somewhat lacking. I wish there were more AP classes that you could take here, as well as more language classes.

Overall, the high school is well staffed with excellent educators. There are numerous clubs to choose from and a lot of student council or government opportunities. The dual enrollment course in addition to the AP courses are an excellent way to start earning college credit in high school.

Middletown High school has so many clubs and extra curricular activities that I am proud to be a part of. The staff and students are a great group of people. The best part of my High school experience is when I was diagnosed with cancer and my coach and teammates made me feel like I was on the team when I was not able to play. Just to have that support from them was really amazing. The worst part was online with my school. I would like to see more parent involvement and better food. Also i'm pretty sure my school doesn't recycle.

Yes, Middletown is not particularly diverse but that doesn’t mean that the students should not be encouraged to learn about other races (besides White) or cultures (besides America) or be taught empathy for the working poor or understand the social or ci...

Kids are horrible... as are the teachers. Teachers love to threaten students and abuse powers... Incompetent staff.

If you fit the status quo, then this is your school. It is not an inclusive school for all. Enough said
