We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have 2 children at Central and I also went there. The school is amazing and the teachers are very easy to work with. They are always willing to come in early or stay late to help with kids that are having difficulties.
