School size makes a difference. More students means more choices and more opportunity.

In Middletown, small size results in:

Questionable student assignment to AP classes
A limited # of academic electives
A limited # of hands-on electives
Limited availability in scheduleing
An absence of workplace skill and training.

What would make the difference?
Larger size would result in:

Criteria-based assignment to AP classes
Greater diversity of academic and hands-on electives
More scheduling flexibility and course availability
More career-related rograms that meet the needs of 
business and industry and promore economic development.
