This has been a great school. I have enjoyed my time here and being on the varsity cheer team. The school is setting us up to be in the real world.

Midlothian High School is a great school when it comes to getting students ready for college. They have allowed me to work with our local community college so I will graduate with over 30 college credits. The school has given me a voice as I do our daily sports announcements and have really found my place within the athletic programs. It has helped build my love for sports for what I want to do in the future.

My overall expirence at Midlothian High School has been good. As I've been here since I was a freshman and had a great experience. The best parts of my experience have been me participating in clubs and sports as it had allowed me to meet new people and friends along the way. The worst parts that I have experience is the lack of diversity at this school as I am one of the few black kids that go to this school. The lack of diversity gives many kids a unfair learning expirence at this school. The changes that need to be made at Midlothain High School is more diversity and having more classes that black people can relate to and more history being showed in history classes.

Most of the teachers from my experience give pretty solid lectures and are typically very kind and le...

In my experience with three kids at this school. I’m not sure how they have more than a star. The bullying is outrageous , the lack of administrative support for parent or child is ridiculous. If you have special needs kids don’t be fooled and don’t sign away rights on an IEP. Advocating is challeng...

I have had both my sons at Midlothian High School. The school is run FANTASTICALLY. Dr. Shawn Abel, the principal is highly engaged. Both of my kids have had thoroughly enjoyed the high school and all of the ancillary activities and programs. Covid year was rough, but the rest was outstanding.
