no and yes.
Unless you refer to the name of the middle school (e.g. Smith's Middle School) as in a title, you do NOT capitalize it. When referring to the English language, English is capitalized since it's a proper noun or adjective, depending on how it's used.

It's not necessary to capitalize middle school unless you're referring to a specific middle school by name, i.e. Hampton Meadows Middle School. However, English is always capitalized.

Only if you are mentioning a place like Lincoln Bay Middle School. If its just middle school, then its fine. And for english, i suppose. Im not sure, though.
