This School’s Reviews
Niche Reviews
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.
2/6/2025
Central is an IB high school and has been a challenging and great learning environment for our kids. Students who attend Central's IB program almost exclusively say when they got to college it was easier than high school, so students are very well prepared for college. There are some great teachers here and a lot of pride in being a strong academic institution. It's also got a lot of diversity for the area we live in which is something we appreciate.
1/8/2025
Central High School was a relatively good experience for me. Most of the teachers are pleasant especially if like me you are in the IB program. Admin however, does leave much to be desired at times.

Both of my Daughters attend Central and are in the IB programs, and have joined the A+ program. Both sing in the Choir and are members of the Kilties the oldest all female drum and bugle corps in the nation. Proud traditional values.
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.
5/26/2014
We love Central! Wouldn't go anywhere else in Springfield. Very liberal school, which is a great fit for me and my family.
5/31/2013
The level of education at Central seems great at first. They have the IB program and are highly ranked nationally. 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...
