Central High School Reviews
Rating 4.16 out of 5 336 reviews
I loved being at Central! Although the administration, in my opinion, struggled to take control of the behavioral issues that exist, I found that the benefits of the outstanding teachers and educational opportunities outweighed my uncertainties! I had an outstanding time participating in leadership positions and taking advantage of the many resources and opportunities that were offered at Central. Go Eagles!
I don’t have many negative things to say about central, and I quite enjoyed my time at the school. I love the arts departments there, all of the students are very talented and care deeply about the work that they are doing.
Central has plenty of pros but like any school there are cons. The majority of Central’s cons in my opinion are results of either lack of funding or poor decisions made by OPS (school district). For example, Central’s academics are as good as any school in Central’s shoes could possibly be. The problem with our academics however is twofold, there is a noticeable drop off in difficulty from class to class and year to year and it’s difficult for students to take the classes or get the teachers they want. OPS caused Central a mass exodus of teachers on top of vastly reducing the courses available for students to take. On the positive of Central there is our people. There is students from all backgrounds and there is at least one staff member for every student who makes a meaningful impact, I am fortunate enough to have had multiple teachers and other staff members truly impact my life in a positive manner. Central is huge but it still allows students to be their own meaningful individual.
