No it most certainly is not - unless your idea of middle is rather vague.

According to Wikipedia (see link below), the Sun and therefore the Earth, is near the inner rim of the Orion Arm, at a distance of approx 8.33 kiloparsecs (27,200 light years or 2.57*1017 kilometres) from the Galactic centre.
