Although it is my last year of three with this school. Since the first year (my sophom*ore year) I spent at this school, the start of each semester was the most challenging. Personally, for me it was overwhelming to stay on track and not fall behind, while also managing communication with teachers/counselors and showing up to live lessons. However, I am aware that is the inevitable for an online public school. Although, as someone with very little time to spare, making the courses/lessons and/or live lessons less time consuming should be a priority. As it was easy to spend multiple hours on one class in one day, just to get to a basic understand of the information in the lesson. The room for improvement does not stop. As I did take AP courses, I would say that it is very separated from other standard and even honors course the school offers. So, taking that to concern would be suggested.

I have had minimal interactions with the in-person program, as I have exclusively attended the online, so my review is missing some of that added context. However, the way the staff has assisted me in my high school career despite the incovenience of distanced communication leads me to believe that the in-person school must be just as successful at advocating for students.While I sometimes found the curriculum to be a bit too easy, my counselor worked with me to help me get enrolled in some dual-credit college courses that provided more of a challenge. Any similar complaints were immediately remedied by the excellent communication on the staffs' end.

All athletes find it harder to train after school since your brain tends to be fried academically then you need to switch to having the physical energy which is sometime just impossible to get the best performance. I also fell in love with the small classroom size and it almost feels like I am going to private school since I receive more one on one attention. The plus of this school it caters to kids like myself who have social anxiety in large classrooms. The classroom sizes are really small in person and its easier to schedule google meets with your teacher daily if needed.

Students establish close connections with their advisors—a departure from the conventional high school model. Having encountered two other scholastic environments that purported to emphasize strong relationships, the support provided by Middle College teachers is unparalleled. Unlike my prior schools, where community cohesion waned, Middle College consistently provides a sense of support and encouragement from both advisors and peers. Moreover, at my former institution, I observed an echo chamber within the student body, stifling constructive discourse on contentious issues. In contrast, Middle College actively encourages students to engage in civil dialogue, listen to diverse perspectives, and participate in polite discussions rather than merely formulating passive rebuttals....

If my son was not logged into his classes, Amy would be on the phone with us, trying to ensure he was logged into his class and verifying I was aware as well. Even if he was performing at a standard that was not up to his usual, Amy would check in with him to make sure he was doing ok and didn't need anything from her.
