Midwood High School has given me more opportunities than I could ever ask for. Their teachers are phenomenal and go above and beyond their designated curriculum. They offer support and even their free time to engage their students within and outside of class time. The school is rich in diversity and it has been an honor to be part of their student-run productions and the three major cultural festivals. It is undeniable that anyone could feel at home in this school. There are over a hundred clubs to join which are all-inclusive and have their own platforms and events. I have noticed a significant increase in school spirit and community. Midwood definitely has one of the best and most sophisticated science programs in the city and provides students with ample opportunities to explore their love for science whether it's research, robotics, or other science fields. The student council is strong and helps connect the student body and has a major impact on the school. Midwood is strong!
Midwood was such a pleasant experience for me. I enjoyed the courses offered and felt like there were many interesting electives available for students in certain tracks. I especially enjoyed the research track, which allowed me to conduct research with a University professor and get close to the other small “community” of Midwood research kids. Midwood also has a really big variety of clubs which were usually engaging and a good way to find other people with similar interests. One thing I felt like Midwood wasn’t that great with was school events, as lots of other NYC public schools have really fun events and fundraisers while we don’t. Also, the way our very limited school events were cancelled after COVID was something I felt like could’ve been handled differently. Besides school events, I feel like Midwood is a great school since it has so many different clubs/courses/tracks for students with different interests and career goals.
Negating the impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic had on my high school experience, Midwood is by far one of the best schools to attend in New York City. Having been around other motivated students with various backgrounds, I've pushed myself beyond limits that have led me to succeed. The student body is not homogeneous; rather, it is insanely diverse which truly further develops the character of the school. There is a wide range of AP courses and elective courses offered that are typically taught well. The extracurriculars at Midwood go above and beyond and offer so many opportunities to build your college resume. Where the school lacks is in terms of guidance. College counselors and regular counselors typically fail to support students during difficult times and fail to help narrow/explore college interests and goals. There is no doubt that the students are ready for college but enter with lingering uncertainties about majors, careers, etc.
