This school is ridiculously overcrowded and every year i have been there the start times and schedule has changed, making it near to impossible to keep up. Also the fact that as we get more students in the school, the decrease our lunch periods and decrease our passing periods. It doesnt make sense to

I had no clue the start times had changed to 9 am. I had no clue we were switching back to the 4 a day schedule, but still keep AB classes. i had no idea we needed a new vaccine, and i still have no idea how im supposed to get my schedule by monday. The school needs to work on communication skills. Read less

The principal, Hinson, does a great job with such a large school. I think my daughter told me that there are over 3,000 students. It should get better once the new high school opens in a year or two. I have been mostly please with the teachers my children have had. The A.P. classes are top notch

One complaint is that I wish more teachers had websites. Also, the school looks amazing. The city of Keller should be proud. Read less

I am the parent of three children. One has graduated from Central High School. The other two are still there. So far I am very satisfied with the education my children have been receiving. For the most part, the teachers have been excellent. If possible, make sure your child gets Mr. Fabel for science,

The negatives-the school went to a new schedule which has been difficult on my children to keep up with. Some classes meet everyday and some every other day. Don't understand that. Also, I wish more teachers had websites. Overall, great school with lots of extra curricular activities. Highly recommend. Hope this helps. Read less

I have 2 children at Central and have been very pleased with all of the teachers. The athletics dept., however, has been a huge disappointment to us. Both of my kids quit athletics because of poor leadership and lack of professinalism. If you have experienced this also, I feel as parents, we owe it

CHS has been a good school for my child. There is a wide variety of classes and levels for every child. The school is only three years old and this is the first year (2006) to have a graduating class. This has meant there has not been a lot of traditions at the school but the students present have started

This school district allows students to travel to other campuses to take classes not available at their home campus ( student provides own transportation). Parents are involved mostly in the booster clubs of activities that their children our involved in. There is an active PTA at the school. Read less
