My child went to this school after we moved from nyc, he noticed the difference right away. Although they are firm and strict on their requirements teachers don’t stress it out and my child is not under so much pressure. In nyc he was constantly aware of the competition among students for specialized schools in the future and if he didn’t understand something he felt like failing. Central elementary just doing their job, encouraging and preparing children for life without making them feel like they are on a racetrack

The schools is above my expectations. The counselor and teachers are very knowledgeable and kind with the students. My son is happier and learning a lot.

In awe with all of these reviews. I’ll give you the fact and my experience. 1) Im Hispanic and my children are half Hispanic half black. 2) currently have 2 kids attending WHRHS - a senior and a junior who is severely autistic. My senior is currently in a handful of AP classes and the amount of support she has obtained for college is amazing. Teachers here are gracious, helpful, and fair. The amount of clubs and sports they offer are a lot, and they encourage everyone. As a minority, I teach my children about meritocracy!!! Things need to be based on MERIT, and NOT the color of your skin. So whoever said there is no diversity or inclusivity can kick rocks cuz with hard work and determination, these kids can do what they want. Now, my youngest daughter who is autistic, I have NOT had a great experience at WHRHS. I encourage those with special needs to research appropriate schools for your kids. If your child has behavioral issues, this is NOT the school for them. They do not provide ABA. My daughter has a condition called Trichotillomania (where she pulls out her own hair). She suffers from several stimming issues, and wish I would have tried to put her in a high school that would give her the services she requires. She’s a junior and hoping I can get her in a different school by next year. Needless to say, neurotypical kids at this school will thrive.. neurodivergent won’t depending on the severity. The staff special education teachers are nice, but the personal aides, I have yet to meet them, and they often change. In her previous school I was in constant communication with the aides more than her teachers. Do not expect this from this school.
