Middleton High School is a place full of opportunities. If there is something that you are passionate about, there will be ways to learn about/get involved in it. Personally, I have been fascinated by computer science, and the school provided me with an environment that encouraged me to go beyond the curriculum and attempt to solve real-world problems while learning skills that will help me in the workforce. Overall, it's a pretty inclusive place that allows students to thrive, prepares them for further education, and sets them on a path toward a successful future.

It's very crowded, lots of students in a massive school that could be played off like a university. The students show very little respect and the teachers vary differently. Mostly, teachers who struggle with the disrespect of the students struggle as teachers as well, as expected.

As a multi-sport, 4-year student-athlete, I appreciated the athletic facilities and coaching staff available at Middleton. The academics were also top-notch, making me feel well-prepared for college where I currently have a 4.0 GPA. However, I found that Middleton constantly struggled as a community over my time attending. As most communities did, we struggled through COVID-19, but we also had incidents of a teacher-led drag performance, student deaths, and an instance of a police raid on campus due to reported firearms.
