There is something for anyone and everyone at Central. One of the few high schools that aren’t clicky. You can just be you.

Central is the best high school in Rapid City due to its diversity, teachers, and opportunities of all kinds.

I have loved every second of being a Cobbler. Central is filled with exceptional students and staff!

I'd give this school a zero star if I could. They really don't care about their students and the few teachers who do are out shined by those of them who don't care. Communication sucks! Instead of trying to solve problems they cause more. Recommend looking into other schools then dropping your kids off at this unsupervised daycare!

The school is more interested in making issues with students, not their problem, than actually helping kids... even physical harm. There are no busses, so good luck with the hours they need to be dropped off and picked up, if you have any kind of normal job. They are effectively promoting failure.
