Central High School to me is a mid tier school. The best parts about it are the ap teachers they seem to really care about the students and how the work is completed. The worse part about central are the students that are not included in the magnet program act very unprofessional and loud.

Central High School had an overall good vibe and I honestly had a good time learning there. Plus they did help me prepare for college.

i dont reccomend this school, the students do anything but go to class, there are fights all the time or ready to fight at the slightest inconvenience, give a compliment to the wrong person and they look at you weird for the next times they see you, like a compliment is a negative thing, they take things too seriously when someone that they knew for some weeks jokes about something but when their friend who they just met one day ago says something illegal, they think it's funny or okay, the students here are just unexpectable, if that's the right word, no one likes central, they are all ready to leave, and intro computer science class name is wrong, the teacher (ms baci) teaches advanced java script, don't take that class because there is no introduction, just straight into advanced java(code hs), after learning web development
