Central is a decent school if you child is in need of special education, and is a decent school (not good, but OK) if you child is gifted. However, for the vast majority of students, the school is not good. Students fall between the cracks daily. Punishment is meted out days or weeks after the behavior in question occurred. Many teachers simply do not care. I will not blame all this on the principal or teachers--the entire EVSC is a mess, and one of the most poorly run school districts I have ever encountered. No one pays the slightest bit of attention to parents. The good teachers/counselors despise the EVSC leadership, but are terrified to make their doubts public. The EVSC leadership is dismissive, rude, and uninterested in anything except their paychecks or future job prospects outside the EVSC. If there really were other choices in Evansville other than private schools or Signature, which is designed for academically-oriented students, I would never send a child to Central or any other EVSC school.
