Overview Paragraph

Midwood High School celebrates a long tradition of academic excellence. Our school consists of three institutes. Placement in our Medical Science and Humanities Institutes is highly competitive and dependent upon strong academic performance. The Liberal Arts & Science Institute serves students who reside in the geographical catchment area. Students are selected for one of three programs: LASI Honors Academy, College and Careers, or College Support. These programs provide students with rigorous college and career-based instruction.
