My experience at Central has been nothing but amazing! One of it's best qualities is that the staff is wonderful, and take there time to get to know all of there students not only from a teacher perspective but as a friend and is a mentor to all! Each and every teacher and administrators are wonderful and greatly appreciated.
As a few others have stated, the administration focuses more on collecting hoodies, yelling at some students to take their ear buds off, and ranting about dress code issues they see in almost every frequent announcement RATHER than fixing problems by reasoning with students and parents. For some kids, hoodies and jackets are their only source of warmth. For dress code to continuously stricten when it is unnecessary, the decrease in school spirit has become more understandable. Also be wary that recent incidents during the school year with the "bathroom mirrors being blocked up" have diminished Central's reputation.
The purples have pounded themselves.
The purples have pounded themselves.
Several people have mentioned the dress code, school mirrors, and ignorant things that Central has done. There have been several complaints from parents about certain teachers which don't seem to get fired. One teacher made students carry a toilet seat when they needed to go to the restroom as a "hall pass." That happened at the beginning of the year and was soon stopped due to the complaints of parents. If a fight happens in Central, all students are told to not take footage of it because they do not want the public eye to see them as a shameful school. Overall, the school is more like a prison than a happy learning environment. Wouldn't say it's good.
