This School’s Reviews

3.0 Freshman

3/6/2025

My overall experience at Central High School as a freshman has been overwhelming overall. 2 of the teachers I have have baerly showed up to cas which has affected my education in those subjects. There is a variety of spoerts which is good. In some lessons i get taught have been really confusing and i feel as teachers should help students a little more.

2.0 Alum

11/4/2023

If I were to describe my high school experience in one word I would say "untraditional". My school was considered one of the lowest tier schools in the county. If you went there is not because you had a choice, you were forced. The main good that came from the school was honesty the students and some of the teachers. They were a joy to be around.

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.

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!!
