    Middle College is very open to diversity and respectful to others. The staff, inspire students to strive for the very best and help them get to levels they never imagined to reach. Like any other school, they also have flaws. One thing I would like to see a change at Middle College is their organization. Academics wise Middle College is very organized in what they excoect from a student and what theri end goal would look like but outside academics in certain areas they havent got the best material, such as a lunch area isnt provided. Despite the fact that they are a bit unorganized they are an amazing school and great support for any student wanting to achieve more in life.

    Middle College High School consists of approximately 350 students in total. Because we are such a small school, I got the chance to get to know everyone from each grade. This brought comfort to school with me because I felt like everyone could respect one another because we all know one another. Not only this, but because we are such a small school, we get to get more help with our counselors and we also get more one on one time with our teachers. The best part of Middle College High School is the fact that we are located at a college campus. We get the opportunity to take college courses at Santa Ana College and we are able to graduate with our AA degree by the time we graduate high school.
    I loved my experience at Middle College High School because it exposed me to a college environment. I got to take high school and college classes. By taking those college classes, I got a head start in my education, and I have a chance of graduating early at university.
