Walled Lake Central High School is one of three high schools in the Walled Lake Consolidated School district, with students from a section of the cities of Walled Lake and Wixom, Wolverine Lake, and areas of Oakland County's Commerce Township.
Central High students go above and beyond academically. The 2021 graduating class at Central earned over $1,000,000 in competitive scholarships. The school's ongoing improvement plan focuses on the basics with the stated goal of all Central students showing improvements in reading, writing and math skills. The International Baccalaureate Programme at Walled Lake Central is a widely regarded advanced course program to give a solid foundation for students planning to attend college.
Central High students may also work on career-specific course material through an Oakland Schools Technical Campus, which can earn them licensing or certification in some career paths. Walled Lake Central has active programs in theater, music and athletics. Sports programs include traditional competitive sports for boys and girls and some non-competitive clubs for others.

4/10/2025
Attended from freshman year to junior year, and had plenty of bad experiences. Teachers like to pick favorite students and ignore all the others and if you aren't "popular" you won't be included and will have a terrible experience here.
2/7/2025
The staff was amazing, friendly, and kind. They didn't make you feel like a student, or make you feel less than. Instead they made everyone feel equal, teachers, administrators, and students. All the teachers taught well, each having their own teaching style. Every class felt like walking into something different. No class felt the same which was nice. The A, B, and C blocks were amazing as well. Made the days feel different and not always the same.

Walled Lake is all in all an average school. You have some great teachers and some not so much. But with anything it is what you make it.

This school is an good school to go to but there are ALOT of racial issues. They even had the police up here this very because the blacks and Chaldeans were about to fight.
