Bullying by members of the F.C.A. on other students. Way to many pregnant teens but oh joy they have a nursery. The turn your head issue when something happens and last but not least dismal test scores.

one of the top 5 band programs in the state, school pride is on the rise, and the old mentality of being "the other school" is vanishing fast!!

Very low test scores... need more qualified and dedicated teachers and coaches...

My daughter is a Freshman at CHS this year. The school has a new Principal, a new Ninth Grade Academy, a top-notch band program, and wonderful teachers (all of which have bent over backwards to help our daughter). We are so glad our daughter is a student at Central Carroll High School!

Central highschool is a positive place for learning, not only academically, but morally and socially. my child has benifitted from the extra time his teachers take with him. he has realized many things and is now a responsible young man,because of his teachers. befroe, no one though they could help him. then, he began attending central highschool and he is changed for the better.

There is a distinct difference made between students at this school. Discipline is based on the administrations fear of parent and or student retaliation. Students of parents who provide funding for athletics are given preferential treatment.
