Niche Reviews
3/7/2026
Some of my favorite things about central are the building and its history. Compared to the prison cells that are basically every other high school, or just school in general, that I have visited, Central actually feels like a place that is livid in and alive.
6/12/2025
The best part of this school is the many opportunities for academic including AP, IB, Honors and normal classes as well. But also the pathways of CP and DP. The worst part of this school would probably be the bathroom they are nasty.
6/16/2024
I would like to see extensions of the IB Program within the school and see new classes, more students, and more faculty be involved with it.

10/18/2017
Central is an amazing school. Both my girls have had nothing but incredible experiences at Central. Staff, teachers, and principals are incredible with the kids.

The problem is that they spend too much time focusing on acceptance of liberal, worldly ideals. We are not a crazy right wing family but my son hated the widespread promotion of homosex...
