I'm a former Central student (or maybe "vintage" since I graduated in the early 90's). Those years of high school were some of the happiest of my life. I still stay in touch with a number of the friends I made there. And looking back, I was lucky. The teachers really cared about helping their students navigate through that time period by arming them with a great education. Honestly, with any school, you get out of it what you put into it. (My son goes to an all-male private school in St. Louis so I get a chance to see what that world is like. And honestly? I wouldn't trade my education or the experiences at Central for anything.

Communication from the school's administration to the parent level is clear and frequent. The school also provides tools enabling parents to stay informed, which allows their child(ren) to get the most out of what the school has to offer. Faculty is open to communication, engaged, and competent. Even the coaching staff seems to take on a mentor-like stance, which I find a complete positive. One thing that stands out to me as a parent is that bullying is not tolerated AT ALL. Sadly, that's important in this day and age. Administration expects students to conduct themselves as adults, but not in an overboard manner, which is never a bad thing.

The faculty are the best when it comes to working with parents and keeping the line of communication open. The classes are challenging and reqarding.
