I just graduated for nchs and as far as these one star ratings i highly disagree. Honestly, I'm insulted. Yes, the school's appearance may not be high quality but as far as what school is supposed to be- a place of learning and growth- naperville central is 100% all of that. Let's look at how many national merits we had in my graduating class of 2009 alone. Most high schools are lucky to have one! Naperville Central makes it easy to get involved and provides a path for every student. Whatever a teen might want to do the school provides it. Theatre, newspaper, dance, sports, art, anime, video game clubs, student councils, deca, and so much more! as a freshman you are required to learn about all the extracurriculars we have. Naperville moms just like to complain!
The building of this school is falling apart. What a shame. Parents would rather shell out $500 for prom than see an increase in their annual tax bill to support academics. Teachers don't want to complain too much because it might effect their next raise. I've had two children graduate from NCHS. I feel their overall experience was just okay; nothing great. C'mon Naperville: We can do better than this!
I found this school to be highly congested and rather old. In fact many of the teachers are older and unmotivating. Not all but quite a few. Kids who don't excel fall through the cracks. Self-esteem is an issue and there is a lack of appreciation for diversity. Academics are fair, but the school location makes it congested. Even with the building renovation, it is a school that was good 25 years ago, an old today. Most parents are moving to the Neuqua High area of Naperville which is further south. I appreciated Central but it has seen better days.
