I've had a few good and bad experiences with my schools, but I'll say the good outweighs the bad. One bad experience I had was when I started a petition for us to wear regular clothes, and it was presented to the school board after most parents voted yes. A good experience I've had is great Friday nights during football.

My experience at Central High School is not the best. The food is terrible, the teachers are basic (NOT ALL OF THEM!!), and the education could be better. The only reason why I'm still attending is because mom my friends.

What I liked about Central is, it was fun. They could improve by hiring more dedicated teachers and staff.
