Midway genuinely is the worst school I've ever been too. The only good thing is the teachers who understand the kids. DO NOT GO HERE. !!!

My kids went to this school from 2010-2015. Overall, I would rate these schools very highly. My two older kids loved learning at this school, and the school overall had a very positive environment. I do have two complaints about the school though.One is that I think they have a too rigorous kindergarten program. I didn't notice it at first because my kids came to school ahead, but with my third that struggled, I really did notice problems. In spite of liking his teachers and classmates (again, not problems with bullying), he was miserable at school and cried nearly every day. They had him missing recess too often because of incomplete work, and at the end of the KG year, when I asked about how much play based learning was done in the school, the teacher told me that they were discouraged from doing too much of that, but her and the other Kindergarten teachers were hopeful that would change under new administration coming in. I do not know if that happened or not as I pulled my youngest to homeschool after that. I hope it did. Kindergarten should be a gentle introduction to school, and I feel like it wasn't. (One of my other children had a somewhat negative kindergarten experience also, but I'm not sure if it was for the same reasons. My oldest started in 1st and had good experiences all the way through).

My kids went to this school from 2014 - 2017. They had both gone to Castleman previously and generally loved school there, but when they came to Woodgate, with both of them, their love of learning PLUMMETED. It was slightly better for both in 6th grade than 5th grade. In science, they hardly did any science experiments until testing was done. Testing was a HUGE emphasis and I feel like this was negative.My kids did have a good experience with their electives (orchestra and tech).
