Central Magnet school is consistently nationally ranked in the top 10 of public high schools. We are the number one school in Tennessee and our students reflect that. From being active in hundreds of local service projects, to speaking at board meetings regarding county policy on mask mandates, our students are well rounded and shown to be cream of the crop year after year. The teachers and staff trust the students immensely, whether its not having to ask to go to the bathroom (just trusting you will go and come back) or sending students on errands throughout the school. We have a club for just about any interest from: robotics, or movie circle , to our aviation club, which has a close relationship with MTSU and their flight school. Central has only honors and above classes: advanced honors, AP, and duel enrollment. With such a great education comes work; lots of work. All of the work, I believe, has prepared me for college, and improved my work ethic. Central is a fantastic school!
The school is supportive and the teachers are wonderful. It's such a wonderful learning environment, despite the high stress. All of the teachers prepare you for AP tests very well, and there is no doubt that they are why Central was elected as a prestigious blue-ribbon school! I will state, however, that Central Magnet could improve their care and education regarding mental health. The teachers need further training on how to handle volatile situations and recognize common symptoms of conditions such as my OCD/ANXIETY and Autism so they can better handle students who suffer from these conditions.
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!
