If your children are different , they will be in trouble all the time. They are rude. Wont accommodate. Lazy. If you were not brought up in this community, dont expect to be met with compassion, kindness or any enthusiasm. I could go on but I have never had as many issues with a school as I did here. Nurse is great ..

The teachers and office workers are always responsive to any questions I may have. As a traveling parent communication was priority and that is something Central was great at. The new improvements to the school is a huge plus. My family also moved here from out of country and have never had a problem with the personnel here.

I really do not care a lot about this school. The teachers are very rude. They really ignore the parents anything we have to say. It goes through one ear and out the other. Everyone is lazy the Office and the teachers. it's amazing to me how the lies of the teachers having dedication, but that is not the case. If they were I wouldn't complain but they are the worse.

Central school has some of the most dedicated teachers, who go above and beyond the call of duty in caring for and teaching my children. The size of Central is perfect. It is easy to get involved at this school and come to know the staff on a first name basis. The small community surrounding Central is friendly & helpful, making this a wonderful little treasure of a place to live and raise my kids.

Central School ranks as one of the top schools in Madison County in all data collected. The teachers are very caring and the principal trusts the teachers is achieving the goals set forth by school and county administration. The schools provides the best education even though they work with less than others due to lack of funds.

This school is very prejudiced towards African American children, they say that that is not the truth but it is. I have had several things that have come about with my children and nothing has been done. If at all possible my children will not attend next year I'm trying everything to get them into another school my son has had his feelings hurt to much!

Central School is a hidden gem!!!!! Just because a school is brand new and bigger doesn't mean it's a good school! Central is smaller, quaint, and down to earth with top notch educators. The school has exceeded our expectations and has been a well balanced environment for our children.
