    Midwood is a place where you can put your own effort into work. Midwood offers a wide variety of courses students can personally pick from. There is honor classes and most importantly AP classes. Think of midwood itself as just a building and what matters the most is you and what you can do. If you can set expectations for yourself and live up to it, you will have a very successful life at Midwood. However, it’s really all about you and your decisions on AP courses. You are the one who is putting the pressure and stress on yourself and setting goals for yourself. However, because midwood is dependent on the person and what they make out of their high school experiences, there are often dramas and disturbance to your study and academic life. Therefore, the environment itself can be a obstacle and often chaotic. But if you focus on yourself and your own success, nothing can stop you. Midwood is a great school!

    My experience at wasn’t bad at all, I actually enjoyed it. While there were some ups and downs, it was a pretty regular high school. While it wasn’t a spealized high school, it felt pretty close to one. My experience felt similar but without the pressure. At the same time it isn’t hard to succeed nor is it necessarily competitive I am in the Med Science program (Senior 2019) and I felt like I was given many academic chances to succeed. While some schools might’ve had more, the school wasn’t entirely lacking. I had many choices in terms of AP classes, clubs and activities. Some of he teachers I had were some of the teachers I’ve ever met while others didn’t seem as motivated (might be common in many schools). Some practices were definitely not normal and sometimes seemed unnecessary and counterintuitive (such as late passes for 1-3 period classes). Overall my experience wasn’t bad and would recommend the High school for any student who is interested!
    I like the diversity within the school building. I meet at least 5 people per semester who come from very different backgrounds. I also love the amount of extracurricular activities my school offers allowing me to explore new talents and religions that I didn’t know about before! Lastly, Midwood definitely prepares students for large colleges being that it’s a high school with over 4,000 students.
