Middlesex County Academy for Allied Health & Biomedical Sciences Reviews
Rating 3.59 out of 5 155 reviews
It was a school where I had to grow, for better or for worse. The school is tiny, so everyone in your grade will know each other. While this let me build some great bonds with people, it also means that you're stuck with the personality people assume you have. Even though we were small, we are cliquey. The education varies in quality. There are some good teachers, but the staff does not communicate with each other and some teachers believe that piling on assignments and making tests incredibly difficult will ensure that the rigor of the curriculum is preserved. However, I learned a ton and it affirmed that medicine was the field for me, and that's a discovery I would not have made in a regular high school. You also learn to develop your sense and understanding of self separate from your grades or education. Everyone here is smart! So you undergo a lot of self introspection and rediscover yourself.
This school consists of very accomplished kids who can be very competitive at times. Most people did extremely well in middle school, and the increased rigor of the school can need a bit of an adjustment. The school is also not very racially diverse (there are whole groups of people not represented in certain grades), so keep that in mind, though there are LGBTQIA+ people at the school and even a club for such people called GLOW for those who are interested. There are a lot of clubs but most of them are focused on winning different types of competitions (e.g. HOSA - Health Occupations Students of America and MUN - Model United Nations) or community service (Interact and Red Cross, though to be accepted into these clubs, you cannot be involved in too many others). There is a chess club and a drama club, but there aren’t any choirs/choruses, bands, or art clubs. However, there is always the option of starting a club if you can get one of the teachers to agree to become club advisor.
I’m a current senior at Woodbridge Academy and although this school does prepare you for college, you sacrifice your whole high school experience for it. You may believe this is worth it when you may have a chance to go to an Ivy League, however in the past few years, we may have had 1-3 people who were accepted and ended up going. This school does nothing to help students with the material or to succeed, which ended up affecting me where I had to seek therapy and tutors to keep up. After all the stress and hard work, I was looking forward to an easier senior year, however that is not the case. The school days are long: 8:30-3:30, and there is no opportunity for early release even with many more credits than needed to graduate (160 when 120 are needed to graduate). It feels as sort of a slap in the face after the past 3 years. I would only recommend going here if you are really set on medicine and do not mind having no free time.
