I think Central High School is a good school. It also have a lot of resources to help me on my classes.
6/10/2024
The best experiences I've had at Central High School most involved club activities or my choir. I was able to create many of my friends through these clubs and I'm still friends with many of them. However, there was an issue with fighting and low attendance. I really liked my teachers, but some teaching styles were not the best for my education.

My experience at Central high school has been overall enjoyable. As someone who isn't to involved in sports or clubs I didn't feel pressured to join anything like that. Thought there is definitely opportunities to do so. The students and staff are diverse so that's a plus.

I'm actually surprised that Central is getting a below average rating. I've been very happy with the school for my great grandson who lives with me.

Great school! Many reviews complain about fights and exposure to drugs. This is not unique to this school.

Rate my Central High experience?Simple.Go knock on a few doors in the Central corridor.You will find that 75% of them are owned by former but still proud 1970s era Bobcats who want their children to have the same great experience as they had.I just was introduced to an absolute stranger who happened...
