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.

Overall pretty good, a bit understaffed but teachers and staff are very supporting and good with advice. Like my 4 years here and wish they could've went on longer.

Midway High School has a very strong academic program. The teachers are very knowledgeable and many are able to create relationships with students in order to grow as a class better. These student-teacher relationships create a strong community which continues to strengthen every other aspect of the school.
