Central Magnet School Reviews

The teachers at Central Magnet School are fantastic! As with most schools, there are a few teachers now and then who do not put forth the same effort as the others, but overall the teachers and the staff do their best to prepare their classes for college. Each teacher has his/her own teaching style, but they all give their time and energy to helping their students and are always ready to assist on any assignment. The teaching environment at Central Magnet is something that encourages everyone to step outside his/her's comfort zone and be the best he/she can be.
Review Central Magnet School
It's a really good learning environment for the most part! Partially depends on the teachers-avoid Bonanno and Ruess. Otherwise, the students and teachers are great! They really push you; you'll be more than ready for college if you can make it through Central.
Most of my teachers at Central were very helpful and effective. I enjoyed the small student body, as well as the smaller campus size. The building itself only had minor issues, like the occasional weird smell in the annex. I especially loved the library, and spent most of my free time there. I appreciated the numerous opportunities and resources that were presented to me at Central, especially the Dual Enrollment and AP classes offered. If I were to change anything about Central, I'd have the Senior Thesis process start sooner. It brought far too much stress for me in my senior year, and I think having both junior and senior year to work on it would have made the experience far more beneficial. Overall, Central is a great school, and I'm proud to have attended.
