It's not that good, bathroom doors are all broken, sinks too, drugs, just the other month some kid brought fire crackers and exploded a toilet.
2/21/2025
I had an overall good experience with Central High School. I enjoyed the Drama department, and did well in academics. I enjoyed most classes, and had good experiences with many teachers and students. I enjoyed my biology classes, and the science classes in general were always interesting. I also enjoyed my english classes, and the library was always a nice place to visit.
2/9/2025
I've loved Central. I haven't had any bad experiences within Central. I have loved being in the music department since I started high school. Same with the sports; I have had great experiences with every coach I have had while at Central.

There is something for anyone and everyone at Central. One of the few high schools that aren’t clicky. You can just be you.
1/30/2024
Central is the best high school in Rapid City due to its diversity, teachers, and opportunities of all kinds.
1/30/2024
I have loved every second of being a Cobbler. Central is filled with exceptional students and staff!
3/1/2022
I'd give this school a zero star if I could. They really don't care about their students and the few teachers who do are out shined by those of them who don't care. Communication sucks! Instead of trying to solve problems they cause more. Recommend looking into other schools then dropping your kids...
