I've only ever been in two school districts, but Central is the best for me. One of the great things about the Central High Schools is that they know College isn't for everyone, because of that they have classes that can at least teach you a skill for the real world. One of the classes I had chose was an intro to tech class, which is what helped me realize I wanted to major in Computer Science for College. The bad things about Central is the environment. I'm not saying that the staff or students are bad, but there are a lot of fights at Central. If that was one thing I could change it would be that.

I like that Central High East Campus has many opportunities for students to flourish and find something to be passionate about. There are kind and generous teachers who are willing to work with their students and the school is full of spirit!

It was diverse in student population and never a boring day. Teachers are very interactive with the student and definitely prepare you for college.

My son is a sophomore at West campus. He has had nothing but amazing instructors. Each teacher has been responsive to me when I have a concern or question. They are incredibly helpful and have gone above and beyond in helping my son. Of course there are things I would like to see changed in the over...

I go to Central High School (West Campus) and it's an average school. The teachers are good. They care and make sure students get the knowledge they need, and also it's not such a large school so there's more attention towards the student. The students themselves can have a "bad image".. but there a...
