Middlesex County Academy for Science, Mathematics, & Engineering Technologies Reviews
Rating 3.52 out of 5 50 reviews
MCA which is now rebranded as Edison Academy Magnet School is very strong at it's brand, but tends to neglect other areas. The course rigor and breadth in STEM in unparalleled, the students are all very motivated and extremely strong in STEM subjects, and students are provided with every resource to succeed in college as well as get into a top-tier school. However, humanities and arts other than history and English are practically non-existent. The only way to partake in them is at the county college it is housed on. Additionally, the academic mindset can be extremely toxic when almost every student scores an A on most tests and the goal to attend a top 20 university is in the mind of every student. Additionally, the focus on STEM many times takes away from the dimensions of students. Ultimately, this school is amazing for a student absolutely committed to STEM. In any case, it is a great education. But with most of your course load decided for you, it can be limiting and tough.
Honestly, I am just doping this because I need to check up on things, but this school is a really good school, with there being a lot of smart people, and a lot of diversity between the students.
While it lives up to its name, students who are passionate about arts, music, or sports have a hard time exploring those areas here.
