I like the size of each classroom and the number of students in each are not too big. I like that there are a ton of activities to get involved in at the school.

way too much funding in sports and the board of ed is weird. there should be a lot more funding in the arts area, especially with the work they do. also some very questionable teachers here especially in the math field. i dont really expect much from middletown anyways though. the whole town is a bubble and weirdly republican, also the rich fully just run the board of ed and it has about as much drama as the royal family. the parents are especially annoying to no end and they live viscerally through their football children and get more drunk than their kids do. if you're into the whole idea of school spirit and crazy football games, south is the place for you. all sports games are pretty entertaining to go to and it gets really rowdy. the school is very athletics-oriented. the school definitely has its positives and there were some teachers and classes i truly enjoyed. i think middletown high school south provides a very good and stereotypical high school experience to say the least .

The faculty supports their students outside of the classroom: like at sporting and theater events. I felt I was taught at a high level and pushed to succeed.
