    Central is a good rural school. The academics are good as well as the teachers who teach those academics to their students. Our school has taken many steps to be a safe school. We have cameras, automatic locks on office entrances, a computer check in that must be done before entering our school if a visitor, as well as a Resource Officer among other things. The students take pride in being a "scarlet dragon" and most of the students are caring and hardworking.

    I think the school really focuses on advancement after high school and that is a good thing. I would like to see the policies change. The controlling rope that the administration holds on the students ruins the atmosphere completely. The administration worries whether or not you have a drink in the hallway, but they completely ignore the constant discrimination of non-white students. The school needs to educate us for the world, not just to pass standardized tests.
    I personally have went to Central High School all four years of my high school career and I can say that it is quite an amazing place of education while also maintaining that fun factor everyone dreams of. All of the teachers are well rounded and get the information into your head and have it stick. Now not only that but our school has so many entertaining and fun events. Our lunches is where we lack. I mean they are edible but there is absolutely no flavor. I would rate my school a five out of five because no school can be perfect and I am glad the place where it is lacking is the lunches.
