My experience overall was not too bad. I enjoyed my highschool years and interacting with others. There were times where I questioned if I wanted to stay here because of the immense amount of stress that comes with being a student here. Also I did face racism multiple times, which was not the schools fault but it was an uncomfortable experience. If I could choose to do it over again, I would choose to come here and no where else. I love most of the teachers and administrators. Overall I would rate this school a 7.5/10.

If you go here, I recommend getting as involved as possible. Definitely join clubs and sports as it will benefit you in the long run. The teachers are overall very helpful and nice. The sport are highly competitive, and there is a large football influence.

The students are not listened to. There have been multiple complaints over the years for the same teachers because of their teaching and unfair grading of tests and unfair treatment yet nothing has been fixed or addressed. The students are for the most part miserable to be here.

I had a great experience at Central Catholic and am an active part of the alumni community. Made lifelong friends and had strong mentors. Prepared me very well for college.
