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 had a pretty good time at Middletown high school but the major issue I had was the safeness and the arts/music department getting smaller and smaller.

Overall it's a good school, but also if a person is in need of help they don't give the help kids need.

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.
