Summary

Middletown High School is a public high school located in Middletown, NY, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,551 students. The school is part of the Middletown City School District, which is ranked 793 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Middletown High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York high schools, ranking between 629-772 out of 1,190-1,242 schools over the past 5 years, and maintains a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger out of 5 stars, indicating below-average performance compared to other New York high schools. The school performs relatively well for its African American and English Language Learner student populations, ranking in the top 25% and top 20% of New York high schools, respectively, in recent years. However, the school struggles with its White, Multi-racial, and Special Education student populations, ranking in the bottom 40-50% of New York high schools. Middletown High School's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 84.3% to 86.8% over the past 5 years, which is slightly below the state average, and the school's dropout rate has been between 4.2% and 6.7% during the same period, which is higher than the state average.

Nearby schools like Port Jervis Senior High School, Warwick Valley High School, and Washingtonville Senior High School generally outperform Middletown High School in terms of statewide ranking, graduation rates, and test scores. These schools serve smaller student populations and have lower percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to their stronger academic performance. Middletown High School has seen a significant increase in per-student spending, from $16,159 in 2020-2021 to $36,753 in 2023-2024, suggesting a focus on investing in the school's resources and programs, but this increased spending has not yet translated into significant improvements in the school's overall performance and ranking compared to other New York high schools.
