Middletown is the kind of school that will give back what you put in. I am a recent graduate and feel that Middletown prepared me for college about a well as any other school in the area because I was a motivated student while there. Though many of the students of Middletown are not motivated and they don't do anything but give MHS a bad reputation.
I am the parent of 2 Middletown graduates. One child was an honor student that had to work hard to obtain that status. She attended college and was on the Deans List through most of her college career. My other child maintained a B average only because he chose not to work hard enough to obtain A's. The education is there you just have to want it. Middletown has it's problems but overall is a good school with great leadership and staff.
If your child is an honor student in AP and honors classes they will receive a very basic education. For the most part, they won't encounter the majority of the school. The general education is very sub-standard due to the complete lack of disipline. It is a very rough crowd and seems to be getting worse every day. I feel most sorry for the poor kids who aren't in honors classes but are nice kids - they have very long, tiring days there. Often graduates who were top of their class at MHS struggle at college - they weren't properly prepared. Not many parents are involved which is not surprising. The top students come from the families whose parents are involved and it always the same faces at all the different events be it sports, music or academics.
I attend Middletown High School (2004-2008) and in overall quality I believe a fair/good would be a adaquate rating. The school has it's flaws such as: Poor leadership, lack of teacher involvement, lack of parent involvement, and many teachers at this school could simply care a less whether you pass or fail. I highly dislike going here as often as I must. I have many friends, adore many teachers, and make outstanding grades. However, seeing such pupils everyday...many are...complete and utter failures.
