There is no top or bottom school to compare within Middletown because only one is listed. Against the state, the school’s largest advantages are in English: 11th-grade SAT proficiency was 59.7% versus 47.8% statewide (+11.9 percentage points), and 10th-grade PSAT10 proficiency was 67.0% versus 56.0% (+11.0 points).

Recent results show mixed movement: the school stayed above state averages, but its SAT advantages narrowed as SAT ELA fell from 66.7% to 59.7% and SAT math from 30.2% to 27.5%. A notable exception is PSAT10 math, which rose from 23.0% to 32.1%, moving from 3.5 points below the state to 2.8 points above it; science also rose, from 29.8% to 37.7%.

The school reports a 10.6 student–teacher ratio and a 33.27% free/reduced-lunch rate; these figures provide context, not an explanation of results.
