Prairie Central overall wasn't horrible, just pretty average. The teachers were alright, some were really good, and others weren't. I liked most of my teachers, but there were a few who easily could have been better. The food was okay, but nothing to write home about. It is pretty average in all aspects.

There is a wide variety of...
