I think the school is excellent compared to those in the area. Central Catholic does a lot to prepare you for life which is super important. There are definitely things to improve but that goes for every school as well.

5/10/2023

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.
