Most of the time i've spent here has been really good academic wise but i will say i am lagging in the math department due to the failure of good teaching. I have never had a good math teacher here except one (miss goering). The food also sucks most of the time. They also don't take bullying allegations seriously and they wonder why there's so many fights. other than that it's okay i guess.

My experience with Perry County Central High School has been good. Whenever I have a problem, I feel that I always have at least a few people I can trust with this problem. All of the staff are good people, I have learned very many new things about life.

In the four years I attended Perry Central High, I was fortunate to receive the best education possible. I had perfect attendance all four years and graduated summa cum laude, I was valedictorian. I would highly recommend this school to anyone. We were a family.
