Middletown is bad compared to what it used to be. As with the Bronx, there are simply places you know you don't go to. Middletown has a lot to offer, if you go there with a positive attitude, I'm sure you'll be OK.
The schools aren't performing well as a whole, however, the education your kids get depends a whole lot on how involved the parents are at home.
