The district is projected by the Pennsylvania Department of Education to continue to decline in enrollment.

It employed: 179 teachers, 134 full-time and part-time support personnel, and thirteen (13) administrators during the 2011-12 school year.

Two high schools had been maintained despite declining enrollment and significant fiscal challenges.

High school students have the option of taking courses in agriculture that prepare them for work on farms, nurseries and other agrarian fields.

[14] The Midd-West School District offers a wide variety of clubs, activities and an extensive sports program.

Note: The football program is a co-operative program with East Juniata High School, and plays under the East Juniata flag (Colors: Red & gray, nicknamel: Tigers), even though their field is in Beaver Springs on Midd-West property.

The school board pays $24,000 a year for the students to be able to play PIAA football.

Midd-West turned to neighboring Mifflinburg Area School District to provide an opportunity to its pupils.
