This School’s Reviews

4.0 Freshman

3/7/2025

I am only a freshman in Central High school, but my experience has been good. I have joined many clubs and activities in central. I joined the mock trial team and we made it to championships, I am in book club, and I just applied to be a track and field manager. I have been getting all A's in central and also have built alot of bonds here also.

2.0 Senior

12/30/2020

Central needs more funding to make it better. Some of these deserved half points as well but I am not sure how to apply those.

4.0 Alum

1/10/2020

My school experience at central was pretty good for the most part. I like the teaching staff because they really had the students best interest in mind. I also loved the diversity of the school

I have never seen a school like central, racist, discrimination.

12/5/2013

This is a great school with great faculty. Gets a bad rap like everything in Prince George's County. I have many acquaintances who graduated from this school. They have wonderful professional careers now.

4.0 student

8/10/2011

I have just graduate from Central although I am not going to college Central has given me the tools I need to go out in the real world. My GPA was a 3.625 and without the help of the staff that would not have been possible. GO CLASS OF 2011!!
