I was a student here, I don't know about the other reviews, but this school was an amazing experience. I saw little to no bullying happening and when it did it was directly addressed by administrators and teachers in a purposeful way. I went to school here for 5 years and from day one it really changed me - I know that sounds cliche and all, but when I look at the person I was before this school and now after, I know I am incredibly indebted to this school. I love all the teachers there and I hope to stay in contact as I enter highschool.

I believe every administrator and teacher does their best to help each child reach their potential. There are quite a few who go above and beyond in this school!

Zero stars. My daughter has been bullied by staff and by several other students. They eat lunch in their home rooms and the school board will do nothing about the bullying being done. Horrible experience. Should be shut down. Teachers are teaching student in 7th grade at a 2nd grade level. Slurs are usually used by staff.

I am very unhappy that my first grader has had 5 teachers with in this past school year. How are they to learn when each teacher has there own why of teaching. For the first time my daughter is telling me she doesnt like school and doesnt want to go. She loves school! And they dont even apologize for it. Its like no big deal... If it werent for them being the only good school in the area i would have changed schools.

1st grade teacher sends homework without instructions, not always needed but sometimes are. Such as sending multiplication home to kids who are just working on adding single digits. Same teacher doesn't seem to want to be bothered to teach or pay attention to students, then in front of parents is fake or makes excuses, or is condescending. The principal seems to make excuses for teachers. That's just a tidbit. I will leave it at that.

Central park is an ok school for most part the principal Mrs. hamillton is great at maintaining the students there . I wish we get to go on more field trips more often and have more activities .it would be fun to leave the school for once and have a little break.the 8th graders only go on 1 trip a year and thats to six flags every year .for 8th grade trips you should try something more exciting like going to washington D.C and spending a night there or something we could have fundraisers to raise money The lunches are terrible i never eat them they are always undercooked and we have the same pizza dippers twice a week .We deserve a A.c in the prarie view gym because it get stuffy there and my friend almost had an asthma attack

My daughter has been in this school since Pre-K now going to 7th grade. She has consistently maintained all A's during these years. Since taking ISAT tests from 3rd grade on, her scores have always been in the top 10% "nationwide" compared to other students in the whole U.S. She loves this school so much that she's had perfect attendance for the last 3 years in a row. Mrs. Amraen is one of the best Principal's I have ever met. Her dedication to this school and its students is superb. My wife and I have learned to work in partnership with our daughter's teachers and so far it's been very beneficial to her. I would recommend Central Park to any parent who is willing to do his part in his child's education.

I have two children at this school which started out reviving a great education, but as my older child hit middle school her grades were still the same but her test scores seemed to go down. I noticed that the younger more inexperienced teachers are far more interested in being friends with their students than actually teaching them. My fifth grader never came home with a homework assignment all year. During ISTAT'S her teacher even made them correct their mistakes . I reported this and nothing has been done. I will be removing my children as soon as possible!

Because they always something for the children to do after school or even during school and i think it's a good place for our children to be.
