Middletown Twin Towers Middle School

In two years my daughter has rarely gotten home work, projects are simplified to the point of insulting intelligence. One English teacher in the 6th grade reported that he did not wish to teach students to write structured reports-a skill that needs to be mastered to be successful in the upper grades-and instead simply answer questions in a sentence or two because it was too much work for him! This sentiment is pervasive. I have found too often that the school celebrates mediocrity. The teachers appear to be overwhelmed by the behavior issues in their classrooms so quiet unassuming kids will get lost. My daughter does not feel the need to study or push herself because she's on high honor roll with no effort. If you have a choice and u want a real education, walk on past this school

I am a grandmother to two students at Middletown Twin Towers Middle School. They are getting a good education. The teachers are willing to work with a student if more help is needed in certain subjects. When children are eager to attend classes, that is a good school!

I have been very pleased with my child's academic progress. I feel her teachers are caring, as well as very hard working. I do think that they have a tendency to teach to the lowest ability in the class and leave the other students to fend for themselves. I would like to see honor students receive more of a challenge in class.

A few academic programs are good. Child is in some accelerated classes and doing pretty well. Would prefer a private school.

I am a parent. My son attended this school during the 2004-2005 school year. I found the staff to be professional and helpful. The quality of education was satisfactory. My son is not a very motivated learner. The teachers encouraged him and contacted me when appropriate. They offered positive reinforcement and encouragement when he needed it. School is relatively secure. A greeter at the building's entrance and all other doors locked so visitors will only use the main entrance. I was satified with the overall education and care my son received.

As with any larger and growing school district it has its problems but overall my 2 children have flourished in this school district. They provide all needed basics as well and excellerated programs. It is a growing community so be prepared.
