I've been attending MHS for the past year, I just moved to the area in July 2021. My overall experience has been poor to average. The first thing I noticed was that fights are common in the school and this school year they've occurred several times a month. The education and academics departments are fine, the STEM classes are challenging depending on the instructor. Some teachers are devoted and offer a rigorous lesson plan while others do not. The student body is diverse, and all races, ethnic, and religious backgrounds are welcomed. The school openly supports the LGBT+ community. The school offers free/reduced lunch for students coming from low-income families. MHS also offers a multitude of different clubs and sports which for the most part are successful. I've spoken to students that used to attend MHS from one to three years back and they said that the school was in excellent condition and their experience was good. I believe COVID did take a part in the school's subtle decline.
Middletown High School has many opportunities for students. It provides many interesting and specific courses, along with an ag program. It's full of sports and has a great, student-based gym program. It lets students know about credit requirements and has a helpful career center. It's bathroom situation isn't great, as they restrict who enters--this means it takes a lot of class time just to use it. There used to be a lot of fights, even making the news. There's a shortage of teachers, meaning multiple courses just don't have anyone to teach them. It's very hard to access resources like guidance and the career center if you don't have a study hall. Even so, it's a great school compared to others and I would recommend it.
My first year I failed to receive any academic help despite reaching out, there was a tutoring night offered but no one could help with my assignments and my teachers expected us to learn things from Google rather than them. But after that year I had the opportunity to work with some wonderful teachers who would take the time to help encourage me and answer all my questions. So your experience can range from excellent to down right terrible depending on the teacher. In particular the teachers for senior classes/ more specialized classes were the ones that truly went above and beyond for their students.
