Central is over-crowded even with the new high school, it's schedule is ridiculous, and the lack of communication from the school is a serious problem. I have been attending Central for 3 years and some of the teachers are just not fit for teaching. There are excellent teachers though (Mr. Kyle Huston for Pre-AP geography and AP Human Geography), but most of the teachers are teaching just to meet test standards, but after they make us work our butts off just to do well on the TAKS they slack and turn daily lessons into Movie Time. I am not 5 years old man so I am expecting to actually learn in school.
This school is ridiculously overcrowded and every year i have been there the start times and schedule has changed, making it near to impossible to keep up. Also the fact that as we get more students in the school, the decrease our lunch periods and decrease our passing periods. It doesnt make sense to me. Some of the teachers try as hard as they can with the limited time and resources they have, and other cant be bothered. I was sent no notifications this summer at all. I had no clue the start times had changed to 9 am. I had no clue we were switching back to the 4 a day schedule, but still keep AB classes. i had no idea we needed a new vaccine, and i still have no idea how im supposed to get my schedule by monday. The school needs to work on communication skills.
CHS is like many other schools - you get out what you are willing to put in. It is large, but this is not necessarily a negative. Your student will have to be proactive and stand out to receive individual attention. Most of the teachers my child has had have been great. Hats off to the choral dept. and VOC, this is where my child found her niche that has made her high school experience a rewarding one.
school was built in 2004 and already overcroweded with portable buildings. Classrooms are at capcity, shortage of lockers. My child is lost in a sea of 4,000 students, making it impossible to develop relationships wiht her instructors. Transferring out this year.
