12/7/2024
The best part about central i believe is the performing arts department. The teachers ans students for them are all very kind and accepting. I would say the worst part about central is how big it is. All of my best experiences in high school have been in the Zoo Academy Program which is school at Henry Doorly Zoo, which is a very small program and has been very enjoyable.

I don't have many negative things to say about central, and I quite enjoyed my time at the school. I love the arts departments there, all of the students are very talented and care deeply about the work that they are doing.

Central is very community-based, whether it is in or outside of the actual building. Central provides many resources for students and teachers who need extra assistance.

Central is and has always been a great school with lots of opportunitites!!!!!!!!
6/5/2026
I went to Central as a Kid and now my son is a freshman, and the teachers and school staff are so attentive and are always informing of grades, events or any updates. Central is academically strong with great resources and opportunities. I love the events, sports and also all the involvement. Great...
4/30/2025
Many phenomenal teachers who care about their students. Like anywhere, a few teachers aren’t great but many are exceptional. The office staff is incredibly rude and disorganized. The administrators are some of the worst I’ve ever seen. Abundance of safety issues with weapons being brought to school....
