Submitted by parent on February 13, 2023

As a parent, I couldn't be happier with our choice of this elementary school for our child. The teachers are highly knowledgeable, caring, and truly invested in the success of each student. The curriculum is well-rounded, incorporating a variety of subjects and hands-on activities to keep the students engaged and motivated. The school also places a strong emphasis on character development and community building, which has had a positive impact on our child's social skills and confidence. The communication between the teachers and parents is excellent, with regular updates and opportunities for involvement in the child's education. Overall, we feel incredibly fortunate to be part of this amazing school community and highly recommend it to other families.

We absolutely LOVE Central. We are very glad we chose this school. It's a little smaller than some other schools in the area, which gives it a close-knit, community feel. We are impressed by the principal and teachers. (The principal knows every kid's name...seemingly from the beginning of school!) It seems like it has lots of resources, and many involved parents.

Central is a great school and we are extremely happy with the environment there. Our child loves going to school and we're getting ready to send the younger one this fall. We have experienced that attention is given to the students to meet their individual needs and all round development. The teachers and the principal are definitely committed to their student's bright future.

Our child is a first grader. The school has gone out of their way to first determine his actual level and then have responded with differentiated teaching for him. Their handling of MAP testing, scoring and differentiating has also made a lot of difference in my child's progress.
