very good academic opportunities including academies and ap classes. students can be insensitive at times and many teachers are not fan favorites. but there is a good choice of extracurriculars and fun events.

I like Central High school engaging, friendly, and educational vibes. The overall experience is relatively flawed though.

4.0 Alum

10/20/2021

Central was a good school. Very much into funding sports and not the arts. Teachers are supportive and help through life when needed.
