Central Magnet School has allowed me to feel immensely prepared for college. Due to the various AP and Advanced Honors courses that I was provided, I have been challenged and taught more than just state standards. I have been taught how to handle a large workload and build lasting relationships with fellow students and teachers. The staff members are understanding, and they treat the students with respect and courtesy. I am so thankful for the opportunity to have attended the number one high school in Tennessee!
As a student who has attended Central Magnet for 7 years, I can confidently say that it was the perfect decision for my education. The school is filled to the brim with some of the brightest and best peers the school system has to offer. Most of the teachers hold real passions for the subjects they teach and are always willing to support the students however they can. This, however, does not mean that Central is the perfect school for everyone. The classes will push you intensely, and the teachers will not accept anything they feel is below your best effort. The student body has immense pressure on it to perform especially on standardized tests. The standard of excellence the school holds does lend itself to creating great students, so if you think you're up for the task, I highly recommend Central Magnet School.
Lovely school! It is very challenging and maybe not for kids who want to keep a 4.0 without much work, but it makes up for it with good classes, teachers, and learning environment. Not very friendly or accommodating towards trans kids, but the GSA is alright, and it's to be expected in TN.
