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.

My experience at Midway has been amazing. The teachers there are fantastic and have always had my best interests at heart. They excel at academics, athletics, and arts. I've been a member of the midway band and it has been one of the best experiences of my life, I just with they had slightly better food.

I've been in the Midway School District since 2nd grade, but the 4 years spent in high school have been my favorite. The teachers truly care about their students and want them to succeed and the high school is only getting better. They offer a wider verity of activities and programs for students to join. Overall, a very good school.
