Central is a decent school if you child is in need of special education, and is a decent school (not good, but OK) if you child is gifted. However, for the vast majority of students, the school is not good. Students fall between the cracks daily. Punishment is meted out days or weeks after the behavior in question occurred. Many teachers simply do not care. I will not blame all this on the principal or teachers--the entire EVSC is a mess, and one of the most poorly run school districts I have ever encountered. No one pays the slightest bit of attention to parents. The good teachers/counselors despise the EVSC leadership, but are terrified to make their doubts public. The EVSC leadership is dismissive, rude, and uninterested in anything except their paychecks or future job prospects outside the EVSC. If there really were other choices in Evansville other than private schools or Signature, which is designed for academically-oriented students, I would never send a child to Central or any other EVSC school.

Great teachers and staff! Some of the best teachers in Evansville are at the school. Plus Mrs Johns was principal of the year 2012!

This school is absolutely ridiculous no one wants to go to a school with so much teachers 5 days a week for 8 hrs in 9 periods the fact that you hire some teachers tht are str8 up sh!-_ Js go away.

I was fortunate enough to meet one on one with the principal before the school year, and chose NTI for my son based on the opportunities and benefits available to him at this particular school. Their structure and schedule is not the same as other schools, and I believe their philosophy and teaching strategies provide an advantage for the students. Beyond the ideology, on a personal level, I have been made to feel very unwelcome by every staff member I've been in contact with since the beginning of school. Surely there are wonderful teachers in the building, but overall the staff has been condescending and rude. I would hope that even when dealing with people like myself who are apparently unintelligent and undesirable, professional staff who deal with the public could feign respect long enough to communicate effectively and without passive aggressive undertones.
