My experience at Clifton central high school was nothing short of interesting. Even though the school is in the middle of a cornfield and has a total of 300 students, that did not decrease the amount of experiences I and many other students had. All four years at Clifton central high school taught me more than any other thing in my life. I had my ups and I definitely have downs but I will take those lessons and apply to them to my life every single day. Im very glad I had the privilege of going here even if the school does have its faults. The friends I've made and the experiences I've had the pleasure of enduring made it so worth it.

Central High School works pretty well with what they're given, there are a lot more oppurtunities that I wish were given to us. It does allow for students to advocate for themselves and gives plenty of paths for people to take.

I think for a rural high school, central high school has a rigorous enough curriculum, however, I think the 50-minute classes are too long and unhelpful.

Look up the history of this school and news reports! My child was bullied and mistreated. Administration does nothi...
