Naperville Central High School was a really good school to attend. In terms of academics, I felt that in almost all of my classes I had a good experience and learned what I felt the class was trying to teach me. A lot of the teachers I had were really competent, and even my worst experiences weren't that bad. There were a few teachers that really left an impact on me and truly wanted me to succeed, which I think is extremely important for students. The building itself was pretty nice, nothing crazy but almost everything worked and some of the facilities were pretty unique, like the auto room or the jewelry room. Overall, I had a pretty good experience in high school!
The school itself is amazing. anything that touches sports activities is a terrible trauma for young people. especially for team activities, and especially for cheerleader girls. coaches are very uncompetitive, they choose their favorite children or the children of their friends. everything is done in a transparent manner and it is frustrating. because such behavior traumatizes other girls. advice, don't let girls into that team. not to mention that their teams are very poorly prepared. And I'm not saying this in my own opinion. many mothers are disappointed. Coaches apply supposedly high requirements, but choose children who do not meet these requirements, and this is all reflected in the competition season, varsity girls are constantly falling like a house of cards. does not perform an elementary exercise. I just think that the school should pay more attention to this sport. just because of the emotional trauma experienced by young girls.
Naperville Central High School overall is a great school for those in the area. Student life is great, everyone can find a place to belong regardless of race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender, etc. Academics are vigorous but some classes are incorrectly defined in terms of difficulty. Teachers often care and put in their best efforts with a few exceptions. Clubs and extracurriculars are abundant, there is a club for everything.
