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 started my school year in the 9th grade I did not know anyone in my school as I had just moved to Middletown NY during the height of COVID so it was definitely an adjustment for me getting to know new teachers new students new friends.The best experience I had was when I met my Guidance she helped me a lot during my years here at MHS she prepared me for College and I am excited to start in the Fall of 2025.I would say the worst part of attending MHS is sometimes the students that attend are not very nice but you have to treat everyone with respect and integrity as which I have done I will never forget my years here.

Overall since I've started to attend Middletown High School, it has been a good experience for me to join activities and clubs. The people there can be annoying at times, and our phone policy can be a problem, but it's students are still a great community.

Middletown High School has been an interesting experience so far. In the past three years I've gained and lost friendships, learned about how the real world works, and overcome many obstacles in my way. I would like to see the staff change in the way they treat us students. They look down on us and treat us like children, when in reality we are young adults, the next leaders of this world.

If you own a house in the area, you can definitely see where your taxes are going. The School grounds and facilities...

Worst H.S in Middletown/Orange county. Teachers don't even want to be there,nor do they care about the kids education. They're more interested in their paycheck. I had to move my teens to Georgia to pursue a better education. The school here was ranked #2 in the county. The after school programs tha...
