Amazing School! This school is one of the best schools I've ever attended in my life. As a current student, you get along with students better, teachers encourage teamwork, and most importantly, no fights. The staff are extremely polite, they provide support whenever you struggle, and they even prevent fights before it starts. Teachers make classes engaging, students are actively working, and you even get to join clubs! Teachers even give you all the time you need to work on assignments, and even make it easier if you struggle. There is a higher chance of graduating in high school if you attend this high school. Even thought this school is positive, the only complaint I have is for the principal, he speaks in a pretty rude manner, but I don't really mind. If you have a kid or are an incoming freshman, I strongly recommend you to attend this school. It is clean, disciplined and positive.

Wonderful hard working teacher and educational support staff.Awesome administration they always trying hard to disciplined student. Overall perfect school for students.

We recently moved back to Middletown, and now my children attend this school. I am so pleased that they do, all of the staff that I have met are genuinely nice and truly love the students. From the time the students arrive and when they leave for the day, they are greeted with warm smiles and hugs. My daughter was nervous about attending because the chemo she takes made her hair fall out and even though it is starting to grow back she was a little afraid of what people would say. The teachers and staff have shown nothing but love and support and have made her transition as well as my sons a very positive one.

My experience as a student teacher at this school was one of the most difficult and disheartening of my professional journey. Rather than being welcomed, supported, or mentored, I was subjected to persistent bullying and exclusion by individuals in positions of authority. As a young educator entering the field, I expected guidance and collaboration. Instead, I was met with blatant disrespect, dismissiveness, and a toxic power dynamic that left me isolated and demoralized.The environment was emotionally exhausting—marked by passive-aggressive remarks, public belittling, and a lack of professionalism. I was often left out of essential communication, spoken about negatively in front of others, and made to feel like an outsider in a space where I should have been learning and growing. There was no real effort to include or support me, and it often felt as though I was being intentionally set up to fail.In addition to the persistent targeting and unprofessional behavior, I also witnessed and experienced comments that were culturally insensitive and deeply inappropriate—remarks related to race, background, and neurodiversity that have no place in any educational setting. These moments revealed a troubling lack of awareness and empathy, and only further underscored the toxic culture present in the classroom.This is not an environment that supports children, let alone fosters the development of future educators. Individuals who demean others, especially those early in their careers, should not be in positions of influence over students or teacher candidates. I share this with the hope that it brings awareness to a culture that needs to change—and prevents future residents from having to endure what I did.
