I just want to graduate and get away from drama ✌
I loved going to high school here
As an employee I can see the day to day of the school and it is an efficiently room school that prepared students to be successful in a diverse and competitive world. With hard working administrators, knowledgeable and compassionate teachers, and very caring support staff, this is an exceptional school for any student to attend.
Good school
Well, I will say this: I didn't have a terrible high school experience here.
PROS : - Good education, has honors and AP classes
- Has a majority of good and supportive teaching staff and administration
- Good sports program and a variety of social, honors club and appreciation awards for
deserving kids (seems to have a lot of smart kids too)
- local police enforcing safety at all times
CONS: - Really old building - our kids deserve a safe environment to breath - smells moldy in
some classrooms and the space to grow to keep up with technology and advances -
education and sport wise (kids have to be driven to Centennial's facilities)
- Very limited safe parking space for new student drivers
- 2015 - still without central air conditioning - school closings for extreme summer temps
- Considering we have the massive and advanced University of Illinois - Central High is the
underdog . Even smaller towns and elementary education have better and newer
facilities especially the restrooms.
- Better lunch caterers, even the pizza is not good according to the kids
Thus the 4 Stars. Overall , it's a good school.
A good school if you want your kid exposed to the many different diversities in the world, a bad choice if your child hates disgusting bathrooms and less than average lunches, good news is that you can leave school for lunch once you're a junior or senior. Old in architecture but excellent in pride and tradition.
