Midwood High School includes a zoned neighborhood school and two selective, well-regarded programs in science and humanities that draw students from across Brooklyn, regularly sending finalists to the Intel Science Talent Search. The tone is traditional and highly structured; teachers expect a high level of responsibility and motivation from their students, especially in the selective programs. Rules of decorum such as no hats are strictly enforced. The school has strong programs in drama, music, and sports.
