The best experience was overall feeling safe and loved in such a big school. Worst parts were probably based on it seemed difficult to get in touch with guidance in order to get help leading up to graduation.

I transferred to central from a standardized test school. Central was like home, I already knew everyone there from middle school. Generations of my family attended Central, I love Central. Central has been a large support system and second family to me.
