I attended as a child K-12 and now my children attend this school. WCC is very supportive of community and family, and I feel blessed to be a part of a school where you are not just another face... another file.

WCC is more and more progressive each year in their teaching methods and the teachers do a GREAT job in adapting/welcoming necessary or required changes in teaching techniques. Students are very safe here and it is in a nice quiet country area. As I have heard it put, it is one of the best kept secrets in the state of Arkansas... and I agree!!! Read less

I believe that Central has a long way to go when it comes to developing a student-centered school as opposed to the 'who's who' hierarchy that determines one's likelihood of receiving

There were few opportunities for constructivist or discovery learning inside the classroom, and Central had very little concern for creating world citizens (I think that I went on one field trip during my 13 year stay). My only saving grace was a nearby college program at Harding University where I was exposed to a different way of life and a quality education. This school needs a serious change of administration.
