This school has unfortunately suffered a recent decline in quality of teachers and principal staff. There is very poor communication between teachers and parents. My son's teacher is very inattentive and borderline neglectful. He is a straight A student and comes home everyday frustrated because of poor teacher involvement in studies. If you like to take a proactive approach in your child's learning experience, stay away from this school.

My daughters have been going to Midway for the past two years and I noticed from day one that the faculty made a point to make sure that they knew their students. The staff that my children interact w/ made an effort to get to know them on a personal level and not just another student to get a score. They made sure that they understood their learning needs and stuck w/ them so they could over come those obstacles. This is a great school!

We have had 2 children at Midway Park and have alway's had wonderful experiences with their teachers and the front office staff. We love the diversity at the school. All of our concerns and questions have alway's been addressed quickly. Both of our children were very happy there.
