This school does not care about its normal students and only cares for their "AP" side. letting the children grow up acting cocky.

I currently graduated from this school and am now going to high school. Despite what people say, middle school was not a bad experience for me. I am glad I went to this school.

Central Middle School was the best experience I've ever had. The three years that I spent there really shaped my character and personality. The teachers at Central are very dedicated to their job and understanding. They stress the fact that learning is very important and that a better education would mean a better future. I'm in 9th grade now but if I could, I would attend Central all over again. :)

I am the parent of two children and both came to Central Middle School - in the LAB program and both had a bad experience. Secretaries knows who to attend nicely and quickly otherwise it takes long to meet the needs of the other parents, On the phone they will keeping you "hold-down".Teacher expectations appears that is all about MCAS. They know all about diversity - but they do show favoritism and prejudice toward some students. Teacher experience stress and so there is screaming and yelling around March/April most likely because MCAS testing/results. Those that said "I love this school" "CMS is the best school" is because they are the favorite - you been helped, or you are one of the circle. It is the genuine true and they know it. Kids here are rude and/or arrogant. The past 6 years the principals have not been caring enough to stop rudeness. One thing I must said positively is that one of my kids always said CMS "must keep this Hispanic Language Teacher for ever he is the only one great.. he is there for the students. he's truly is making a difference. Hoping Central Middle School can be a better community-culture with the new soon location Will keep close eye on....
