Midway Star Academy

My experience at Midway Star Academy was incredible positive. The welcoming atmosphere and dedicated staff made me feel right at home from day one. I was impressed by the school’s commitment to academic excellence. The curriculum is challenging yet supportive, and the passionate teachers create an engaging leaning environment. Overall, I would highly recommend anyone seeking a rewarding educational experience for their kids.

Midway star academic is an amazing school. I appreciate how the school focused on not just academics but also personal growth. My children love their school (midway star academy) and I am confident that this school has set a solid foundation for their learning path. I have my 3 children going to this a school and I would highly recommend to any parents.

Amazing school . Amazing staff. Not so great kids!

Negative. The new leadership does not engage with parents or the community. There is a high turnover rate among the teachers.

Leadership is very poor. There is no vision and no true articulation of mission and objectives. Site leadership micromanaged petty details like someone arriving a few minutes late but does not build relationships with teachers so their strengths can be known and utilized effectively and areas that are weaker can be developed. Site leadership actually suspends teachers for days for missing a deadline or for saying something slightly politically incorrect to students, instead of addressing it in a problem solving manner. Despite the fact that 99.9% of the students are English Language Learners, staff are given no training in how to collaborate and Co plan with an ELL teacher and admin completely ignores them and the strengths they may bring to a , frankly failing school. The teachers are the most important resource, and it looks like Admin. will figure it out only when they realize that their lack of relationship building and support for teachers will leave them with very few returning next year. EA'S will be illegally teaching even more classes than currently. The principal is punitive and out of touch with educational pedagogy, especially when it comes to English Learners. He would be better suited to work as a supervisor at a fast food chain. The Director is playing fast and loose with his own community's children and their futures. It would be hard to imagine a school with lower achievement and worse behavior. This is due to incompetent and careless admin, not teachers. They should suspend themselves. What a shame.
