I would like to see more parent involvement fostered by better communication. Many times I would not find out about school events in time to come.
2/8/2024
The school is great in a sense but pretty terrible. It's to strict on rules and add more ridiculous rules on top of them, they make sure the kids are bored during break and have too many restrictions on their devices. Food is terrible as the pizza tastes like dough, so I don't eat there and stay in the library.
1/29/2024
My overall experience was not that bad. It was not super good either. Many of the teachers were not good at helping students understand the subjects that they were teaching.

I am a recent graduate of Cape Central and have been very pleased with the school in general. Although it does not have the best reputation, I received a very positive experience here.
