2020 Best Schools in Midland CountyAbout this List

H.H. Dow High School

• Midland Public Schools, MI
• 9-12
• 166 reviews

Alum: Best school in the Tri-Cities flat out. Math and science especially strong; gigantic AP program (something like 1 in 4 students do AP classes). Nationally ranked FIRST robotics and DECA teams, great drama program, and so many more. Teachers were some of the best mentors and friends I had throughout my years here; they're there for you personally as well as academically. The bathrooms could use a makeover though (:

Midland High School

• Midland Public Schools, MI

• 188 reviews

Alum: I am proud to be an alumni of Midland High. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and felt encouraged by teachers and peers to push myself. However, I do believe that MHS focuses too heavily on their AP/IB classes, because they count for minimal credit (with no guarantee) and required out of pocket paying to take the tests. I think I would have been better prepared for the adult world if I had either dual enrolled (which racks up way more credits than IB or AP) or if there were a career center like at Bay City Western. This program allows students to job shadow and become immersed in various career fields to become more aware of what it would truly be like. Some of the programs also offer certifications upon completion of the course such as welding, CNA (for those in healthcare), etc. I think this would make MHS alumni more employable after high school.

Alum: I went to MCS from 10th grade thru 12th grade. I loved the small classes and the Christian atmosphere. It has kids and kids aren't perfect but I would not have wanted to go to high school anywhere else. I enjoyed my time there and learned a lot! I give it 4 stars!

Calvary Baptist Academy

• Private School
• Midland, MI
• PK, K-12
• 10 reviews

Junior: Calvary quickly becomes a home to those who attend. The teachers really take time to get to know you, both academically and spiritually. I can genuinely say I am friends with many of my teachers. The music programs are out of this world. Honestly, there is not much negative to the school. The only things I would think of fixing are the uniforms and some of the ways the educational aspects are presented. Overall, I would recommend this school to anyone.

Midland Academy of Advanced & Creative Studies

• Public School

• 10 reviews

Senior: What an incredible opportunity it has been for me to study at Midland Acdemy of Advanced Studies! I can not say enough about the staff and education that I have received. The dual enrollment option at Delta College has prepared me for my next step towards my undergraduate degree. I have been pursued by numerous colleges and as of December 15th of my senior year I have been accepted at my top 5 college choices and have been offered more than $350,000 in merit scholarships and am still competing for a full ride at one of the prestigious universities that I have been accepted at. I can’t say enough great things about the administration at Midland Academy. I wish I had known about their programs sooner.

Meridian Early College High School

• Meridian Public Schools, MI
• 9-12
• 22 reviews

Senior: The experience of being apart of a new tech school is wonderful; however, the teachers rely more on google than their knowledge they gained from attending college. Most classes assign homework online, which can be difficult for students that do not have access to WiFi. This school also focuses on project-based learning which usually results in a particular group member completing the entire project by themselves with little to no help from the other members. On a more positive note this school allows dual-enrolling at Delta College, the Bay Arenac ISD Career Center, Coleman High School, and H.H. Dow High School when you enter your junior year. This opportunity has allowed me to earn my certification as a certified nursing assistant through the Bay Arenac ISD Career Center and attend Delta College to complete prerequisites for Deltas Nursing program.

Coleman Junior/Senior High School

• Coleman Community Schools, MI
• 7-12
• 49 reviews

Senior: It's the school my mother went to and most of my family, and I grew up here. I liked that it was small because everyone knew everybody. This made it easy for people to connect so it was more comfortable to talk about problems happening with most staff. Coaches were by far one of the best influences I had at Coleman. They not only coached, but became apart of my life and knew more than just sport ability in students. Some things I didn't like was how easy it was for kids to get away with bad things they did. I think the amount of discipline only went to some kids, and didn't go to the ones that needed it most.

Parent: We love NE! Great kids from all different backgrounds. The teachers have been amazing as well. We cannot say enough about the NE Family! The only thing that I would improve is Athletics dept. The cost is much higher than most schools & the communication is lacking.

• 2 reviews

Parent: Amazing K-8th grade school. My 3 Children have benefited 10 fold during what my husband and I feel is the most challenging times in a child’s education (middle school). The acedmics are top notch(meeting each of our individual children’s needs where they were at vs a cookie cutter approach), great extra curricular(there is something for every student and every student is encouraged to participate and try something they may never have before or would get to in the larger middle schools), extremely nutritious/delicious lunches, kind, caring, nurturing teachers and staff. Again, every student, no matter where they are at acedemically are nurtured and made to feel successful as they achieve growth in reaching new goals/growth. With every moment in acedemics and all activities, respect and love for each other and our Lord is present. A true gift to us as parents, we have been truly blessed to have Saint Brigid in our children’s and family’s life!
Take a tour!
