What people are saying

by a student
Friday, March 11, 2022

I've gone to Middletown schools my entire life. I've never really liked Middletown, and just recently, there has been shooting threats held against Black students at our school. I don't even know of even 5 Black students in my own grade apparently, only 3 of our school is African-American. I am extremely disappointed. People at Middletown have always been racist, but the kids coming from the feeder schools (Myersville, Wolfsville, etc) have made it worse. The school / test scores may be good in Middletown, but the people here are horrible. Close Quote
