I went to the school from Freshman year through Senior year. Overall the school wasn’t horrible. There are a good amount of teachers at this school who truly care. I felt like the entire time I was at this school, I spoke or saw my guidance counselor maybe 3 times. I feel like with any high-school there is bullying, I noticed it almost everyday. The teachers did not stop kids, or stand up for others. Getting involved with extra curricular activities really made me continue going to school. If there was ever a fight teachers would just discipline the students, and the consequences weren’t enough to stop the drama most of the time. Counselors should have intervened and helped more with the students. When I went to central me and my group of friends would leave for lunch everyday, and were never questioned by faculty when returning. I feel like any kid could just easily lie and make it past someone standing at the door. This is extremely dangerous, hopefully it has changed since then. My grandfather and all of this 8 siblings went to central. My parents and their siblings went to central. I went to central, but I would not put my future children in this school, unless they go through some major changes with staff.

The teachers have been amazing with my son and his health and learning issues. My only concern is the other kids that are there. Many are terrible. The way the behave, year one another and the staff is unbelievable. Just recently I pulled up to drop my son off and there were kids throwing snow balls at cars going down locust and one looked at my truck seen me sitting in it and threw a snow ball right at my windshield and took off running when i got out. No staff or there are all to watch what is going on. There needs to be. If it happens again I will be getting the police there finding the child did it and pressing charges. I did call into the school and notify them of what was taking place that morning. But I'm not one to sit back and let these kind of things happen. They need to be taught this at home by their parents as well. Respect others property. if I caught wind of my child doing that I would be beating some rear end to end.... unexpected

My children have had a great experience at this school. Their teachers have been exceptional. Thanks to the hard work of the teachers and support staff, my children are exceeding the state standards. Not only are they pushing my children academically, but the school has an amazingly diverse student population, both ethnically and socio-economically. This provides an education for my children that prepares them for living in an increasingly diverse world. I love the school and I would recommend it to others!
