We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Personally I like central high. It's barely my second year but I can tell the teachers care and want to help every student. Many after school clubs. Counselors help you get through classes. Some of my teacher inspire me to become someone important.
