All the teachers at Central Middle School were very nice and showed an interest in the students. Teachers actively helped struggling students and taught effectively.

Many of the teachers here protect their students to the max. The office requires anyone and everyone to sign in and sign out every time they enter or leave the building. Many teachers worry about the safety of their students and tell them so every week.
