Great Schools
Read what parents are saying about Central Jr High School
The teachers here care about students and are attentive to their academic progress. My child enjoys school and learns well. This year, the school focused more on academics and discipline which we appreciate. It would be great to see more advanced recources for high-achieving students in the future.

Horrible school. No communication between the 3 principals for one school. Don’t recognize mental health symptoms. Violate IEPs. Stay away.
