I've had a great experience with Central Elementary. My son was in a day care before he started going to Central and his personality, character, and overall happiness was improved on his first day.

Central Elementary's staff and administration are constantly updating their approach in reaching students. The teaching staff works diligently to provide the material in creative and effective ways. Like any other school they are bound by federal,state and local parameters, but they put an effort into making learning fun. Central goes beyond the text book to ensure students are taught personal and relationship values as well. They highlight leadership and selflessness by recognizing Eagle Leaders and rewarding good citizenship. Each morning you'll hear the Pledge of Alligance, the flag is properly raised at the start of the day and respectfully lowered and folded at the close of the school day by the 5th graders. The halls are covered in children's class work and artwork. The gym is filled with music and fun. The support staff checks for visitor passes diligently and takes pride in not only the appearance of the school, but the protection of our children. Finally, Central hosts some exceptional children who have very specific needs. These amazing little ones are part of our Eagle Family, and the students at Central support and protect their friends by helping in art or going to PE or reading to those who are unable. Our kids are learning that different isn't strange or scary it's just different. I'm proud that my three kids have learned how to help others instead of looking the other way. Finally, if you remember elementary school as a safe, fun and HAPPY place? Than Central is what you remember. Feel confident that your kids will be in good hands at CES.
