Joliet Central High School Reviews
Rating 3.67 out of 5 432 reviews
Overall, this school is great and has many different clubs, sports, and activityThere is much to learn and do here. The only things that I would change is the fact that freshmen have an extra period and have to come early. One of the best parts of my experience was being able to have a wide variety of clubs and activities to choose from. I also like my high school because of the sense of community and school spirit that encourages collaboration and support among students and teachers. However, I would change the outdated facilities and technology to enhance the learning environment and provide more opportunities for students to excel academically and creatively. I like the diverse range of extracurricular activities and clubs offered at my high school, which allow students to pursue their interests and passions outside of the classroom. I appreciate the dedication and support of my high school staff. They are always willing to go above and beyond to ensure that students are successful.
In this school, students are not very challenged academically. There is a lot of violence in the school and the students seem very unmotivated. However, the teachers are really good at their jobs, it’s just the students.
I've really loved going to Joliet Central! For the most part, I've had a wonderful experience with most of my teachers. A couple teachers have been rude, or uncaring but for the most part they all truly joy working here.
