Terrible, that's the only word needed to describe this school. It doesn't care about its students, it does little to nothing to help those in need and does not prepare students for upper level education.Bullying goes on unchecked and the teachers even participate in the name calling and put downs towards their students and the students have no place to report it because their administration will not give these kids the time of day. How are any of these students suppose to succeed if they're consistently told they're worthless and won't make it in life.

Too much focus on athletics and image, Kids are supposed to be in school for an EDUCATION.

I'm a former student who went to school in west Middlesex all my life. The school certainly has it's problems: The comically inept school board, the feudal-like power that comes with the correct surnames, and the typical small town emphasis on sports. That being said it has many upsides. Most of the faculty seem to genuinely care about your success (aside from special education dept. they're all jokes and deserve an eternity in hell for how they make fun students). The small class sizes means you can know your teachers and are capable of joining any sports team you want (though play time is no guarantee). The current cross country coach Bob Morris is one of the greatest coaches and mentors a student could ask for. It's also a very safe environment and people are generally accepted by their peers because the small size doesn't allow for the cliques found in other schools

You make a name for yourself at this school, as you do anywhere else. There are some parents in high places that believe their kid is the best as do most parents. Still, in the end the best come out ahead. You get out what you put in, same goes for academics. College was a breeze after high school; all subjects. Would not have gone anywhere else. As for new students and parents, be a benefit to the area and not a burden and you'll fit in just fine.
