Rating 3.81 out of 5 802 reviews
Overall my experience at Central High School has been very interesting. Some of the worst parts have been the drama that circulates around the school and the fights that feel as though they happen every single day. Not only that but some of the teachers seem as though they do not want to be there which in turn affects the students. However, I will say that Central High has helped me build amazing bonds and the diverse culture is amazing to be around. Learning about how each person from different culture do things is truly inspiring. I would love to see a change in how things are handled throughout the school.
My experience with Central High School has been wonderful. I have met so many different people due to the diversity at Central and I have gotten the opportunity to make lots of great friends and connections at this school. Central has a great variety of clubs that cater to all different types of people and hosts many events that offer volunteer hours for students. Not only are clubs available but the school also offers after-school tutoring and assistance for students in need of assistance. Central High School puts together a Black History Month performance every year which successfully educates students on African American traditions and lifestyle. Although Central is an amazing school, I would change the fact that the building is not the cleanest it can be. Central is an old school and is in need of more maintenance with ceilings, floors, and walls. With the addition of a more sanitary environment, Central High School will make an even better high school for students to attend!
Central is a very large school! I do not feel like I’ve gotten the full high school experience because 2 of the years we were not in traditional classroom setting due to COVID-19. However we made the best out of it and was able to continue on. I do love that there are so many clubs to join and activities to be involved in. The worst part of about this school is the violence. Every week there was an issue of some sort.
