It was good my class had the highest graduation rate in our history of our school

This is a horrible school. There is no communication between parents and school staff. There is a blonde lady who helps the special needs children on the bus after school, she is very handsy and mouthy with the kids. It is highly unprofessional, along with the poor behavior from the front office staff. I would not recommend this school to any family or friends.

Rude people and students and confusing layout

Es tremenda escuela con el mejor equipo de trabajo de toda la ciudad de Springfield MA. Los estudiantes tienen muchas oportunidades y ayuda extra para que puedan alcanzar sus metas. Todo el personal es muy atento, cordial y professional. Definitivamente yo recomiendo esta escuela.

My daughter has been there for three years, except for one issue with a problem student it is a great school. The teachers are excellent, curriculum is above par, but the administration is very weak.

Springfield Central High School has been great so far for my son. We came here from another city after he finished middle school at first we were nervous if he would fit in if he would do well there and if the academics would be good. So far he has fit in and done very well last year he finished his freshman year with a 4.0GPA and is trending in same direction into sophomore year. He is in all AP classes and said the teachers are way better and laid back compared to our old city. He said teachers aren't rude at all and very laid back as long as your doing what your supposed to your work is done and your grades are good which I feel is great as I think some teachers are way to strict and cause unnecessary stress on students obviously if a kis is acting up and work isn't done than thats a different story. The sports at this school are extremely important also to this school and they are pretty good and win alot especially their football team which I believe is D1 and faces the best Massachusetts has to offer and even teams like IMG from Florida has came to play us. The coaches are great and they communicate with parents well and are always available to answer any questions or concerns. They have a great lifting program and are great with helping get your kid recruited if they want to play in college. I would recommend any one who is on the fence about what school to choose in Springfield that Central should be their top choice.

I’ve been to multiple middle schools from 6th to 8th grade, but there is NO school I’ve been to that is as bad as this one. Teachers, staff, and students are disrespectful. The bathrooms, cafeterias, and classrooms are FILTHY! Theres security and bag checks at every entrance, which is barely effective at it’s purpose. There are students with vapes and weed pens in school, but admin is worried about phones and uniforms. Every time I enter the bathrooms, there is someone in there vaping or something else of the like. Students are disrespectful and it seems like staff can never get them under control. Lunch is always overstimulating and a sensory nightmare for anyone with a disability or sensory issues. Cafeteria tables are never clean, and it is always insanely loud, with staff yelling even louder to get students under control. This school is a horrible learning environment. If you care about your child’s wellbeing, do not send them here by any means.tl;dr: School is filthy, loud, horrible learning environment with disrespectful students and staff, and your children will likely be exposed to things such as vaping, smoking, drugs, etc. Don’t send your kid here.

This school is trashy and the time is off by 3 minutes so the kids get out at 2:53 instead of 2:50

Excellent! The staff and students work so hard at this school!
