I liked Centralia very much; however, the classes were not really hard enough, the teachers were very nice and very helpful, just the overall material was not really hard enough for my liking. The school is very heavy on sport excellence and not so much on academic success, the administration is kinda rocky, but still a good school overall.

I would love to see an increase in the amount of beneficial dual credit classes offered that align with the local college.

The way the teachers treat minorities and non-white exchange students is embarrassing. Broken English = stupid in the eyes of Centralia teachers and students alike. I felt so unsafe in this school and this town.

My son has had challenging classes all of his years at CHS. Those classes are taught by highly-qualified teachers that actually care about his future. The technology available at the high school is top-notch, preparing my son for life after high school.
