this school is bad , they take illegal substances horribly , they gave 2 students choice for 2 days for carrying a weed pen and they take behavioral increments seriously , school is dirty needs resentment and dont trust anyone

I entered Central with mixed feelings, having heard not the best things about the school, and most of my friends were attending Ooltewah instead. However, looking back, I have no regrets. I absolutely loved my experience at Central. It is its own community, but you definitely get back what you put in. Take the time to learn about the school, its history, alumni, and the amount of people that truly love it. Love Purple, Live Gold.

This is hands down the worst school I have ever experienced in my nearly 20-year career as an educator. It looks pretty on the outside - nice new building and all. But inside, it is a nightmare. Students are fighting in the halls on the way to class in the morning, fighting in the bathrooms, fighting on the playground. Students bring weapons to school. The lower grade hallways reek of urine because the students just go wherever they want to go - in the hallways, on the walls, etc. The custodial department is severely understaffed. We routinely did not have toilet paper, soap, or paper towels. I had to buy toilet paper and bring it in for myself and the students to use. Teachers are expected to sweep their own classrooms each day. Classrooms are not deep cleaned over the summer months. That falls to the teachers as well. The teachers are horribly stressed, abused, and unsupported by admin. Administration hides in their offices, seemingly aware that the problem has grown too big for them to tackle, so they just hide. I would caution anyone who cares about the safety of their child avoid this school. Safety and hygiene are severely lacking here…let alone education. Harrison Elementary is a very sad excuse for a school.
