The class sizes are small and you only take classes that are required for graduation. You can do dual enrollment once you are a junior through Midlands technical college. They do not offer honors or AP classes like most other high schools.

I think that Midlands Middle College is a great institution that helped my transition from homeschool to public school go smoothly, especially in the midst of my mother getting cancer. The staff are so helpful and supportive and I have had the best experience with them. I wish we had more clubs and student involvement and also a better way to get food since we have no cafeteria but also aren't allowed to go off campus.

It is an excellent experience and you can learn so much being on this campus. The professors are so knowledgable and helpful. The only thing that the school earns bad marks for is its unhelpful financial aid department.
