The academic programs at Middletown are top-notch. There is a large array of AP courses offered, as well as an APEX program for incoming freshmen. The athletic program is just as satisfactory; sports teams regularly make it to state competitions. The Arts programs are wonderful, as well. Both the chorus and band send students to All-State Band and Chorus, and the Auditioned Chorus (Vocal Ensemble) received a 1 at state adjudications in 2008. There are all different types of visual arts courses offered, including photography, sculpture, and computer graphics.
