Best part of the experience is extracurricular activities like sport programs and dance. Academics opportunities like as Cambridge program. Worst part of the experience is organization issues.

Miami Central High had a big impact in a good way. I went to Miami Norland Senior High but it wasn't just for me I had issues that impacted my mental health and my grades. Until i transferred to Miami Central High, my grades gotten better and I have an amazing teacher I turn to whenever i feel down. Miami Central is the best turn around I could have asked for.

As far as the people ive meet through different clubs and classes, I would is a great part of Central. But the school and adminastration is really a hit or miss, Ive had teachers who brung out the best of me and genuinely helped me with my academics but then ive had more teachers who you could tell hated their job and the kids they had to teach.
