3/4/2025
Overall Central is a good school. I think that they do need to provide more arts classes or at least talk about them more. They also need to advertise more regarding school events and things like that. They have a lot of clubs and sports which is nice, and the teachers are overall really kind.

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.
11/13/2023
During my years in central, I wasn't involved with the school as much. However, I have had and still get excellent teachers I never had much trouble with any of my teachers and they would support and help me with my studies. One thing I love about Central is there library, its such a warm environment. I would go there to study, read, or draw. My school would get treats now and then but it never really escalated badly.

Scared that if my daughter or sister is enrolled here, they would be sexually harassed while the school and bus driver does nothing at all. honestly this school must be in on the sexual harassment, i wouldnt be surprised.
9/1/2022
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.
