I have/had 3 kids go to Midway. I have 2 gifted daughters who have enjoyed the Horizons program. I also have a son who is developmentally delayed. The extra help he's received with speech and from the special ed teachers is top notch. I couldn't dream up a better team to help him. I feel lucky to have my kids go to Midway. It feels like community. Close Quote

This school has surpassed all of my expectations as a parent. The teachers, staff, and administrators are hands on and excellent. I had so many fears about this school when my son started kindergarten, we almost tried to have him switched somehow but I am so glad we decided to give it a try. Couldn't be happier! I have a bright child and he is so very well taken care of here. Wouldn't change a thing. Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
