I have read each comment listed, i personally feel that Centtal is a great school. The teachers and administration staff are very responsive. I think that most of the problems begin because parents have all of the expectations and don't allow the children to look for their own challenges. I make sure

Central Middle School is a joke of a school! The teachers are terrible, most of them anyways. When teachers don't feel like teaching, they use the excuse of, 'you're getting older now', 'you're in 7th grade, 8th grade, 6th grade, ect.' Beside of the terrible teaching, the education is just ok. The honors
... Read more teachers & curriculum is ridiculous. Going on to the next bad part of this school, the sports and sports coaches are definitly not taken seriously. My eldest son played on the boys softball team and lost every game except one. He told his little sister who was going into 6th grade next year, not to bother even trying out. What a great tip for your family, don't waste your time. The admistation is the worst. Not helpful at all! This school is just a mess. Don't torture your children by putting them in this 'school'.
