I am a senior at Central right now, and I must say. The school has gotten worse every year. There is soooo much lack of discipline in this school. Honestly, today, in my Electronics class, we were supposed to be taking notes on circuit boards, but instead, the entire back of the class had an hour-long

We buy a desk, that people sit at all day and do nothing but watch cameras, which are by the way, right next to them, and then we hire another security guard who sits in a chair all day. After that, we buy barricades to stop incoming traffic....but they're always up. All the time. Seriously, wtf. Read less

I agree with the last parent. The school is too crowded and the redisticting caused lots of problems with the students' moral and behavior. Furthermore, the school year starts too soon (should be september) and the school days start too early (should be 8:00). It seems as if 90% of the students have

I am a student at Hazelwood Central. Fortuantely I am one of the more disciplined students and I do not think it is the schools fault. The students behavior are very immature and they never do what they are told. Basically they think they are grown and don't have to listen to anyone but their parents.

Some well behaved students have to suffer from other students behavior. The shcool is doing the best they can. It's the children to are not. I am going to be a sophmore and I think I have more sense than 80% of the kids in Hazelwood Central. Read less

I am a graduate from Hazelwood Central High School and am now currently a junior in college.

I always have to raise my hand and say, 'no' and ask my Professor and students around me to summarize the book for me or tell me the background about the person being discussed. It makes me feel ashamed that I attended Hazelwood Central High and I feel as if I have somewhat been cheated out of a proper education. Read less

I feel the same way as the previous parent. The Hazelwood School District is failing as a whole, in my opinion. The schools are overcrowded and socialism and their issues have become the basis for daily activities, in stead of educating our children. We pay increased taxes every year, only to see
