My best experiences were school events. Most of my teachers are good as well. Admin was a bad experience, and some teachers were not good. Ones that caused issues and did not teach and admin would not do anything.

Overall I think that Midlothian is a good school if you are already drive in school. The administrations favors kids who do well in school, an is overall not very good. However it is one of the better public schools in the area when is comes to academics. Most of the teachers at the school really do care and are kind, however a few you should watch out for.
