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.

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.

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.
