High school has been a very interesting experience for me. It has definitely had its highs and lows and many confusing experiences in between. Overall, I feel like I have been equipped for not only college, but also life as a whole. High school has taught me many things, both academically and emotionally. I came out of my comfort zone with joining the schools dance team. I am also apart of 2 National Honors society. I am really happy with my school journey at Midland High.

Midland High School is a very united community. School spirit is truly displayed through music, arts, and sports. It's a very diverse community that tries to make everyone feel included. The teachers I've had throughout the years have been helpful in making my experience great.

Midland high school is made up of sophomore- seniors with the total number of students being about 2,500. The staff I would say is not trained nor given the ability to adequately teach on a day to day basis. The school is very old making the environment not very positive for growth and attitude of student. That being said I have had a decent experience overall at the school but definitely think there is room for growth from the administration side to better the environment and experience of students.

Not there to learn...only to compete to see which school gets the best rating. Too demanding.

I think two stars is nice. Basically, I learned close to nothing there. In my Pre-AP English II class, we did nothing. We had our teacher talk about our summer reading assignment usually. We did basic, mindless book work. I was not taught to write a proper essay until I moved away. My Spanish 2 teac...
