"When we were moving to Florida from Massachusetts because of a work transfer with my husband, I was extremely worried about my childrens education. I did an extreme amount of research on public schools throughout Florida to decide where we would move to. Central was one of the best high schools within the area we could find and I was very happy with my sons results there. We only stayed 1 year and were transferred back to Mass but now are planning to move back to Florida on our own and I will only consider homes in the Central district!"

"My son graduated from CHS in '07. He participated in the Dual Enrollment program and graduated with his AA degree and his high school di[ploma simultaneously. I found the guidance office to be the most knowledgeable in the county in facilitating this process. He is now enrolled- at 19 yo- in a PharmD program and is wildly successful competing with students who are consistently older than him. CHS and PHCC prepared him academically for success in a most competitive academic environment. Kudos to all involved!!!"

"My son is finishing his first year at Central and I must say I've been very happy with the school. He is very active in football, but the best thing about Central is it's absolutely fantastic NJROTC program. The instructors are phenomenal and have really created a program that has changed the lives of many of the students involved in it. The score that Great Schools has given Central is incorrect...this school is a 10. Oo ra Navy!!!"

"I graduated from Central in 2006. The only thing that makes this school great is the NJROTC program. My senior year we ranked #1 in the NATION. It is an excellent program that teaches responsibility, respect, discipline, and is still fun. It also offers tutoring, extra-curricular activities, and athletics. This program could run the school. HOWEVER, central by itself is nothing, there are only a select few of teachers that seem to know anything."
