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.

Middle College Highschool is a wonderful learning experience. At this school you are able to take dual enrollment college classes to further prepare yourself for college. You are also in a college environment with many extracirriculars at hand.

My experience so far at MCHS has been amazing. At first, the campus seemed so big and confusing, I even got lost looking for my class.

There is a LOT of diversity at MCHS but since it is public, it can be a little unsafe.

It is alarming that 17% of the teachers left MCHS in 1 year. These teachers were integral to the school's success and their departure is felt by the students. This school does not offer any AP classes, so the smart students have to do busy work while waiting for the slow students to keep up.

MCHS has experienced a noticeable decline since the arrival of a new principal. She consistently refused to listen to concerns from both parents and students. This disconnect of communication has led to frustration and demoralization among students. The school is struggling to reach full enrollment.
