I absolutely love my Highschool, staff are great and its clear they care about student safety and comfort. The school has the best FFA program that I am in, their agricultural classes and other classes that you can choose from are great, from animal care to accounting.
It is quite a small public school, but supporting 3-5 towns can be hard

It was a great school and I enjoyed my time there. There were some points in my high school years where I felt like the teachers weren't as qualified as they could be. But other than those select few teachers, the experience and culture throughout the school is felt. Many students take pride in the fact that they go to Prairie Central, and I for one am part of the group of people.
The faculty and staff were overall very kind and understanding. I would like to see the school acquire more funding so they can purchase more materials relate d to education. For example, their Geometry books are from 2006.
