Central High School itself is the only STEM-certified high school within our district, but the safety overall has been lacking for the last few years. They are attempting to improve that through construction for the next few years
5/27/2025
Central High School could work on their diversity of the school because there are some things that they do that just focus on the athletes at the school.
5/29/2024
The best parts were joining the marching band and having fun with friends, while the worst parts were some of the classes like Math and some teachers associated with it.

Great educational school that is now the FIRST School in the state of Colorado to Be STEM certified. This school is moving forward in the aspect of new educational process and what works best for students and their learning process. Things at this school are slowly starting to move towards a quality...

Send your kid to a private school, get them out of the public schools right away. I definitely will not be sending any of my family here, and will be sure to let my friends know to stay clear of this school too.
