As a student at Central, I can say that I truly love going to school. I have formed relationships with my teachers. Negative behavior is not tolerated as the ISS room always has patrons. The school is clean and I've definitely learned a thing or two from going to school here!

I was class of 1969. My mom was class of 1929. Judging from the comment posted by the student in 2009, I'd say the school has slipped considerably in the last 40 years, especially in the teaching of grammar, spelling, and the proper use of both capitalization and punctuation. That's not only sad, it's tragic. Or perhaps it's just a manifestation of bad attitude by an unmotivated student? In 1969 Central was a four-apple school in my opinion.
