The school's academic performance is mixed, with strengths in English Language Arts but significant challenges in Mathematics. Despite relatively high per-student spending, the school's overall ranking and rating have been inconsistent, suggesting underlying factors that may be impacting its academic outcomes.

Additionally, Midland Middle/High School has consistently been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other Iowa high schools. The school's high percentage of students (51.82%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that it serves a population with a relatively low socioeconomic status, which may contribute to the academic challenges observed.
