Central High was an amazing place for me to spend my four years of high school at. The Math teachers were incredibly capable of preparing me for engineering in college and we had a wonderful fine arts department. The only gripe I had was with budget cuts that made it so a lot of the Physics teachers were not initially teaching physics, but had to since we couldn't afford our old teachers. We had our coaches take that job and while my teacher was insightful and helpful with chemistry(since I had him for that the year before) he didn't have the same grasp of physics. But every other aspect of the school was great! From events, to diversity in the students, to the teacher/student relationships it was a great place to form your education.
Overall, I liked how diverse Central High School is. However, this year there have been bad experiences from people stealing restroom mirrors and multiple fights occurring throughout the school. Also, there is barely any school spirit since Central doesn’t really excel in any sports or fine arts activities. The clubs at Central are fun though. From experience, the the sponsors and officers of the clubs are always accepting feedback to improve upon the experience for all members.
Academics and teachers are good in AP level classes, however, in regular classes, seem to lack motivation teach. College readiness is nearly entirely dependant on simple things like having FAFSA awareness meetings, but often don't go over the actual application process or timeline with many students, only if prompted directly, however, Most counselors will answer any question you have to the best of their abilities. School culture is abysmal. There's currently a culture of not trying and expecting teachers to do nothing but help you with any and every problem instead of learning problem-solving skills. The recent new administration is doing a great job at trying to change the culture of the school, it is apparent that something is being done about the problem with work ethic a majority of the school has. As for clubs, the clubs and activities we have seem to do very well, however, are scarcely advertised and many clubs are unknown, but, this is also shifting towards change.
