About

Be Someone. Go Somewhere. Seek Excellence.

The mission of Middle College High School is to provide an equitable, academically challenging, and supportive high school environment where students complete 30–60 transferable college units, develop the independence and skills to meet the rigor of higher education, and confidently advance to a four-year college prepared for future success.

Our vision is to empower underrepresented youth with an alternative, supportive environment where they can thrive academically, earn college credit, and confidently pursue a four-year college pathway. 

Middle College High School provides students with a unique opportunity to develop skills that will provide motivation and support for lifelong personal, academic, and social growth. Students experience a high quality college preparatory high school education with direct access to college. College opportunities foster development of independence and success in academic and career pursuits in our students. 

The school is accredited by the Western Association of School and Colleges Accrediting Commission for Schools. Over the past twenty-five years, the partnership between Lodi Unified School District and San Joaquin Delta College, remains stronger than ever. In April of 2019, Middle College High School received its third California Distinguished School award. In 2023, we were recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School; previously recognized in 2008, and 2015.

• First in family to attend college
• Historically underserved in 4-year colleges
• Low income
• Special circumstances including but not limited to at risk of not performing to potential in a large high school setting.
