The Middletown City School District is well known for its strong, comprehensive educational programs.

Curriculum improvement, instruction and support services are the focal point of the district. To maintain a contemporary educational program, the course of study for each subject area is reviewed by a committee comprising teachers and administrators who recommend revisions to the curriculum and modernized instructional resource material.

"We have high expectations for our students in academics and behavior. Instructional delivery is one of our highest priorities. Our curriculum is extensive with an emphasis on the basic subject areas, and instructional strategies are designed to assist students in becoming successful." - Dr. Steve Price, Superintendent of Middletown City Schools

The educational program also includes a variety of teaching methods and instructional programs and extracurricular activities to meet students' special needs and interests: Success Academy, Central Academy (non graded school), Algebra for All, Post Secondary Education Option, Pre-School, Social Justice Class, Dual Credit Classes, Elementary Gifted and Talented Education,  All Day Kindergarten in all eight elementary schools, thirteen Advanced Placement® Courses, Vocational Studies, Independent Study, Honors Courses in core subjects and Foreign Languages, Honors Diploma, Advanced Art and Music classes, Over thirty clubs and academic extracurricular activities including  the award winning Marching Band, and Show Choir, and the Greater Miami Conference athletic, chess, and academic quiz teams.

The faculty stays on top of current research in the field of education by attending professional development sessions offered by the district and area universities. In-service opportunities are designed to help the staff develop and reinforce the skills necessary to meet the changing needs of their students.

"Our staff challenges and nurtures students, maintains high expectations for students, and values life long learning as a means of developing potential." - Dr. Steve Price

Individually, the staff and students consistently earn local and state recognition. Middletown High School graduates are accepted into the best colleges and post secondary institutions in the country.

In 2003 the Middletown community passed a $75.8 million bond issue to replace or remodel all of Middletown's elementary schools with state of the art school buildings. Eight elementary buildings house grades pre-school through fifth grade; two middle schools accommodate grades six through eight; and grades nine through twelve occupy Middletown High School.

These accomplishments are the result of an ongoing team effort that involves the dedication and hard work of students, administrators, teachers, support staff, and community members.

"We work hard to build a 'spirit of community' where people come together for learning experiences that develops responsible and successful world citizens." - Dr. Steve Price
