Central High School Reviews
Rating 4.3 out of 5 37 reviews
Central is definitely one of the best schools in the area. There are some very good teachers, and some of them even teach classes at the University of North Alabama. There are two things I would change. I would prefer for the curriculum to be more rigorous and in-depth, even though by current standards, it is a good school. I just wasn’t prepared for the ACT. My other change would be that everyone is treated equally, which for the most part, they are. There are, however, some students and even teachers who show favoritism. Central has made progress, but sometimes, students are judged for their families or their income. No one would ever admit to this, of course. I’m sure there are people like this almost everywhere. Additionally, I never had any real friends here until late high school despite being here my whole life, so my personal experience was awful to say the least. I believe, though, that most students really enjoy this school and plan on living near here in the future.
Central is a great school for students to attend. They have such a family-oriented environment. There is not a single faculty or staff member that does not care about the well being of each and every student. The education you receive is one of the best out there. They offer so many different classes just to get you prepared for your future after Central. The sports side of things is also just as good. Each sporting team has so much talent. From the younger kids, all the way up to the seniors is packed full of talent. We have a few huge rivalries which makes sports so much more enjoyable. Overall, I think Central offers so many skills to prepare students for their future careers.
At central high school my favorite part about it was definitely how much the teachers cared about us. They would go out of their way to make sure that we were alright. We were not a huge school, if I could change one thing it would be that we had more people in our graduating class. My favorite teachers were definitely Mrs Mac and Coach butler. Mrs Mac is an absolutely amazing person, she worked so hard to make sure everyone graduated. Coach Butler is the perfect image of a father and husband, I hope I can be half the man he is. Overall I would not have rather been anywhere else.
