This parochial school definitely has its pros and cons. On the plus side, the teachers are engaged and caring and the academics are excellent. Class sizes are small and the subject matter is interesting. On the down side, the curriculum is very limited. Artistic classes are few and far between, there is little to no music education and once you reach the high school level, the theology component shifts to almost exclusively "pro-life" concerns instead of actual theology.
I love this school! I am extremely grateful to have Central as an option for my child. There are numerous extracurricular activities that the students may engage in (including extras in the elementary school as well as the middle/high school) including co-ops with other local public schools for programs not offered at Central. There are also numerous opportunities for parents to volunteer and be involved at the school. The teachers are very good about helping a student when they are struggling or getting them to appropriate help. The tuition is very reasonable especially if you participate in the rotary tuition rebate program and there are some scholarships available. I also love how they are bringing a larger focus on technology into the classrooms all the way from K-12. Overall, I would say this is an excellent choice of school.
In my opinion, based on my friends and my experience at the school, I feel that throughout middle school and high school most students experience a sense of community and feels like a part of a family. Good morals , teaches good character, and lastly education and religion go hand in hand in our growth and development at the school
