MIDDLE COLLEGE HS @ DTCC

Middle College HS @ DTCC is a public high school that is part of the Durham Public Schools school district, located in Durham, NC with about 197 students offering grade levels from 11th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 6 teachers, Middle College HS @ DTCC has a student/teacher ratio of about 32:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Middle College High School at Durham Technical Community College (MCHS) is a unique, collaborative partnership between Durham Public Schools and Durham Technical Community College. Located on the college campus, the school serves students in grades 11 and 12 who are seeking a non-traditional, college-focused environment. By integrating high school coursework with college-level instruction, the program allows students to earn their high school diplomas while simultaneously earning college credits, certifications, or even associate degrees, effectively bridging the gap between secondary and post-secondary education.

The school is designed for students who thrive in an independent, professional atmosphere and are motivated to jumpstart their collegiate or career paths. Because the high school is embedded within a community college setting, students experience a more mature academic culture, smaller class sizes, and a highly personalized learning environment. This setup not only prepares them for the rigors of higher education but also provides a structured support system that helps them successfully transition into adulthood and the workforce.
