Middle College High School (MCHS) is located right on the campus of Santa Ana College, in Santa Ana, California. This school has about 270-300 students, with an average of 70 pupils in each grade level and 15-28 students per class. It supports grade levels nine through twelve. The school's mascot is the wizard. The school's color is Purple.

This school allows high school students to take high school classes and college courses at the same time. It was only in the year 2003 that they got ninth graders participating in the program. Most students get a year and a half done worth of college classes. Most students are taking from 3-12 units of college. College courses are free to all MCHS students. Students agree that grades earned for college courses will remain on their transcript for life.

There is only one counselor for the whole school. The school contains 21 classrooms but students are in at different times... some are in college courses while some are in high school classes.

Middle College High School does not have any high school-related sports; only college sports in which students must be 18 years or older to participate. Most universities only check the high school and college grades for the student's sophomore and junior year. In order to take college courses while at MCHS, student's parents have to sign the CAP form, a permission slip saying that the parents agree to let the student take the course that was assigned.
