My daughter has blossomed at this school in her academics, physical development, socialization and community-mindedness. We had thoughts of moving over the boarder to live in Pennsylvania, but we are staying in the community specifically because of the positive impact Panama Central school is making in our daughter's life.

We raised both of our kids in the Panama Central School system. It has great community involvement and wonderful school spirit. Everyone looks out for one another.

Panama is a decent small school. I graduated a couple of years ago from Panama among the top students within my class. I enjoyed the small school and friendly atmosphere. Unfortunately, I found myself unprepared for college-level work. In high school I enjoyed not having much homework, not having to study a lot, and not being challenged even by the "advanced placement classes". In retrospect, I realize a challenging curriculum and a greater focus on academic achievement would have provided greater benefit. Panama does offer opportunities for extracurricular activities, but is slowly losing them due to decreasing class sizes. Also, I'm sure politics affect many school districts, but the presence of political tension affects Panama's school in many ways. I hope you find this review useful.
