I was a student at East campus and graduated in 2011. This school was amazing when I went. Yes, each school has its problems. There were fights, but administration dealt with it pretty well actually. Most teachers are effective and they genuinely care about meeting students needs. There were a few teachers who should not have been teaching there. I was college ready. The school does talk to their students about college, and it is emphasized more than people realize. I've since graduated and am pursuing my Master's Degree so I can say Central East did prepare me for college. There are great English teachers and Science teachers at this campus. It's just a campus that struggles to deal with student motivation on occasion, but that is most high school campuses unfortunately.

This school has so many opportunities than any of the other 4 schools around the U.S that I've been in and every school has there problems but they work hard to solve them, the academics are great, athletics are great, and the coaches and teachers will help inside and outside of school they offer great electives and many activities for students such as 3D Design, Auto-mechanics etc, where as to many schools don't. If you're going to send your child to any school in the Central California are I as a student Highly recommend Central High East or West Campus.

My son is a sophomore at West campus. He has had nothing but amazing instructors. Each teacher has been responsive to me when I have a concern or question. They are incredibly helpful and have gone above and beyond in helping my son. Of course there are things I would like to see changed in the overall focus of the school and its vision but I know that my student's experience there thus far has been a very positive one.

I go to Central High School (West Campus) and it's an average school. The teachers are good. They care and make sure students get the knowledge they need, and also it's not such a large school so there's more attention towards the student. The students themselves can have a "bad image".. but there are plenty of good students as well! Leadership is an awesome class and the activities director is just really funny! Good school so far.

The teachers don't teach properly and the students don't behave properly. I am currently a senior and I can't wait until I graduate and go to a University with a proper educational environment. I've seen kids get arrested at this school, graffiti on walls, I have been offered marijuana, seen fights, seen many pregnant students, I even saw students about to have sex after school. This is a school I will NEVER send my future children too.

Central High does not emphasize college attendance. Students are not counseled in college requirements beginning in the 9th grade. During their senior years, students MAY get attention from a knowledgeable counselor if they hound the counselor. 3 people I know who got accepted to UC's, who graduated at the top of their classes, have returned home saying that they were at a disadvantage and they felt their high school failed to prepare them for college level work. One senior, who asked for a letter of recommendation, had to ask 3 times to see the letter, finally got a copy and the letter was poorly written and had about 10 spelling errors. An elementary school student could have written a better letter. If your child is college bound, you are better off at a charter school or a high school in Fresno Unif. Do your research.

I am a graduate of the original Central Highschool and have since watched my children attend and graduate from a Central Unified school. i am a very spirited and dedicated parent. My children and neighbors education is a top priority in this district. We started as a small union and have grown very quickly to a top rated district. With every school there is some bad apples but as a whole, we are grounded and are commited to achieving the same goal, which is educating and producing productive young adults.
