This school is completely non responsive. Will not follow up with you or give you any response to what they’re going to do to advocate and protect your child when they’re being bullied.. It is impossible to get a meeting with the principal even after leaving multiple emails and voicemails. No matter who you talk to you get pushed and shoved down the line like your voice and Child does not matter, even upon trying to leave the school. Their contact with other schools is basically nonexistent. They will not contact or follow up with the other school that you’re trying to transfer your child to. Do not send a child to the school if you want them to feel safe and advocated for in a good learning environment.. To meet with the principal you must go in and demand a meeting now. However, don’t believe this helps because all the principal does is write stuff down on a sheet of paper and lie to your face while taking no action on the problems at hand.

As a student at Central, I find it to be like any other school I've been to; most students here have their own groups of people, but of course, people are going to have their own friends, but that doesn't mean that they'll be mean if you try to sit with them or hang out. I have seen bullying here. Still, it's genuinely been less than from other schools I've been to. I think this school has great opportunities, like a really nice gym and theater. I have never had an issue trying to get a meeting with counselors or teachers to get what I need or help them help me. So central is just like any other ordinary school

My child is entering his second year at this school. His first year went extremely well and I felt that the teachers and staff at the school were excellent. My ONLY complaint was that there could have been slightly more communication directly between his teacher and myself; however, she has a lot to deal with when trying to teach a room full of students.
