I had a lot of fun at Lake Central. My favorite part about high school was being in a sport. I loved having games and practicing. The coaching staff was great and my teammates really made every year special.

It was nothing against the school itself I suppose, but the bullying was really bad and out of control when I was there. I was never super popular so i would get made fun of a lot, and the teachers didn't really do anything to stop it.
2/3/2025
Overall it wasnt terrible but it wasnt the best experience in my four years there. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it.

All three of my kids loved Lake Central. They never felt that it was too big or overwhelming. They liked the vast majority of their teachers and felt that they were well prepared for college classes.
