My child enjoyed his time at Central. His teachers were generally engaging, supportive, and really cared about his progress. The teachers were well organized and communicated with families on a regular basis. I do wish that tests and quizzes were announced at least a week ahead of time by all teachers, as sometimes I would only find out about them one or two days before. The projects they did were unique and kept my son's interest. Issues he had with other students were handled well by the teachers and principal.

My child was constantly harassed in the classroom and very little was done to stop it. There was not enough structure in the classroom.

2/10 Education, Homework/Schedule, Events, No sports in Elementary, Which needs to be changed, ADHD, Autism and etc, Needs to be educated, Teachers and Principals, Just because children have these special issues doesn't mean you have to single them out and treat them different. It's not fair to the child/student or the parents involved

We came from another school district and I have never been so shocked and disappointed in a school before! The amount of trouble makers in the school is unheard of, that speaks volumes! The principal is too lenient and a lot of us parents are unhappy! My child and many other parents children have met with the councilor and feel like she doesn't care or do anything to help them! My children have also been there a year and we will not be coming back next year!

I completely disagree about the statement about the staff not caring. In my experience they are wonderful and very sensitive to bullying, and are quick to address it, in the extremely rare occasion it has happened. There are after school programs, community events, and just so many cool things for the kids to be involved in, my husband went there over 20 years ago and had the same great experiences. I am excited for the opportunity my daughter has to go to this school, it is great, and the more you are involved in what they have to offer the better it will be.

My daugher only went here one year because the teachers and principal didn't care about her and did nothing to inform me of any potential problems. We had to teach her self defense because nothing was done to bullies. She went to other schools with out problems. Beware!
