Central High School

Probably the biggest waste of time and money i have ever spent on private education to further my sons academic development...this is a sad institution that is not accredited but lied and said they were. If there are problems with a child's learning ability you won't hear about it. This is basically a K-2 overpriced daycare. I don't speak on behalf of all parents but this is my personal experience. After the new management took over and Covid outbreak the education was totally discarded.

I was prepared for college better than most of my peers and my IC sisters are still my friends. I think all they need are some Nuns and it would be perfect.

GSL is a unique and wonderful school community that fosters the development of well-rounded students who become leaders in high schools and in our city.

We have been there since kindergarten. IC has some strong points, and many of the teachers do care about the students' growth and development. Unfortunately, the big problem at IC is teacher communication with parents. They love to talk about all the 21st century technology, but they seldom use it for anything else except fundraising. Teachers let papers pile up before grading. Parents are the last to know anything. We have tried many times over the years but it has not changed in spite of apologies and promises. If you are interested in a school for your children that is focused on infinite fundraising, new facilities, more fundraising, little use of the technology they have fundraised for, a Rector focused on little besides church politics and more fundraising, and being left mainly in the dark by teachers and school administration about your child's progress or needs for improvement, then IC is the school for you. We are pulling our children out at the end of this year. It is a real shame. It could be a much better school than the administration allows it to be.

This school certainly is not an awful one, but there is always room for improvement.

The staff is not professional and avoids helping parents dealing with problems other students bring.

I was so excited to learn that Memphis has a Performing Arts elementary school. I have never heard about an elementary school that focuses so heavily on the arts while still valuing the academic success of its students.
