Middlesex County Academy for Allied Health & Biomedical Sciences Reviews

I went to the Academy hoping to take rigorous academics within a close community. I was also intrigued by the science and allied health focus of the curriculum. The program's curriculum seems to be set up very nicely, but the way it is carried out in practice does not make the Academy the best option for the type of students accepted. I felt that several of the teachers at the Academy did not actively contribute to my learning of the subject matter, and this especially affected my performance in STEM subjects. I felt that a few teachers here did not teach properly or even perform the minimum required as a high school teacher. Teachers, at times, made discouraging remarks. I also felt that the administration did not effectively respond to student complaints. There were, however, a few good exceptions in teachers whom I appreciate. Most the Academy's clubs were held during school timings, and I think that this could limit extracurricular involvement.

The community at the Academy is great. Because the school is very small (less than 300 students total) everyone is familiar with each other. The teachers are also very kind and helpful. No teacher will ever deny helping a student, whether it be school work or something extra. The classes are very focused on the biomedical field, and I can honestly say I gained a very thorough exposure to the medical field. One downside to the academy is the sports available. Especially for boys. The school offer co-ed soccer, girls' basketball, and girls' softball. However, they are starting a boys tennis team, and as the school continues to grow, more sports will hopefully be available to the students. Overall, attending the academy was a great experience.
Woodbridge Academy is a great school for those who want to learn about a possible career in biomedical science or allied health. It has experienced staff and provides many opportunities for success and exploration. It is very competitive, but provides substantial college readiness.
