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.

At walled lake central the community is honestly the biggest value proposition that WLC has to offer and I think that the education, connections and community is an irreplaceable value that I think that only WLC HAS
2/26/2025
The administration at WLC is top notch. Always striving to keep parents, and students, informed about upcoming events.
8/9/2024
There are certain things event wise, like prom, and even graduation, that I think the school could prepare better for. It felt like certain things were super rushed and they didn't take the time to make sure every student was ready for graduation. It's not like everything went horribly, they just need to prepare better.
