3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageGreat test scores. great principal. Outstanding teachers. I really like the guidance counselor and the ag instructor. I really find it laughable reading the comments by the disgruntled parents on this page. If you review the test scores it is evident that this school is competing with much larger high achieving schools. I am very happy with the education my children have achieved within this district in spite of a few disgruntled parents.Parent Review10y ago - Midland Middle School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHigh turnover and lack of leadership has tanked this school's performance and reputation. Teachers and principals alike leave after 1-3 years due to poor working conditions. What has also negatively impacted student performance are long time staff that refuse mentorship from administrators and refuse to change their strategies to achieve new, better results. Sending a child to Midland Elementary means they will either have A. an inexperienced, less-effective teacher or an experienced, but ineffective teacher. Many of the long time staff (largely born in the area, and wary of outsiders) remain only because they find the job "easy" because there is no accountability.Simply put, your child will not learn high level concepts at this school. They will not engage in meaningful learning experiences that challenge them to think critically. Instead, they will be treated to worksheets and videos on a smart board delivered by teachers more concerned about what's happening on Facebook than analyzing student assessment data.Teacher Review2y ago
