Middle College High School is a high school that is immersed within a community college. The students that attend this high school are able to take college classes as well as high school classes simultaneously. This, in turn, leads to the opportunity of being able to graduate high school with a diploma and AA degree. This school really prepares you for college! I would really recommend attending this school!

Transition from Manzanita Charter school to Middle College High School was a change in not only work load but responsibilities. From what you here you would believe you have to over work yourself, that's false. Use your freshmen year to get into the school culture and join clubs and work on procrastination if you do procrastinate. Overall, I enjoy attending this school.
Middle College high school is such an amazing school. It helps each student develop academically and reach their full academic potential by allowing every student to work at their own pace and in their own ways instead of forcing every student to work the same ways. Middle College takes every student's academic needs into account and works with each student to ensure they are learning and growing at a steady pace. One thing I would like to change about Middle College are the textbooks. A lot of the textbooks we receive aren't in very good shape and are basically ripping apart at the seams. Overall, applying to Middle College was the best decision of my academic career.
