My family lived at Central High scool district for close to two years. Starting off, it seemed very dicsiplined,qualified staff, academiclly formed. After some time there, my family chose to relocate due to the fact that since we were treated as outsiders we did not belong. My opinion is it is a very biased community and if you were not born there you are not welcome.

This school is AWESOME! We relocated here one year ago and have never been treated as outsiders. My children tell me regularly that they never want to leave their new school! We came from a private school and the academics are on par, the teachers are great, the principal is incredible, and the community the best!
