Great Christian values taught in a positive & encouraging atmosphere. One thing I love about Central is that the parents are very involved and supportive. My daughter has gone here for 6 years and I know all the other parents in the class so I can call with questions or help if needed. There are many young teachers, which can be a positive or a negative. They are energetic and eager but also still learning. Classroom management is top notch and the children are very well behaved here. The current administration is supportive of the teachers and they seem happy here too.

My young child has gotten a solid Christian Education at Central. We have a new administration this year who seems very interested in keeping the teachers happy and letting them teach in a pleasant environment. It is small and the children never 'slip through the cracks' like they may in larger schools. My child thrives at Central.

Both my children went to this school. Their teachers were great about seeking out the positive aspects of each child while patiently working thru any negatives. There was alot of homework but that seems to be a common complaint among parents of students in any private school.

Before I enrolled my daughter at CBS, people warned me she'd 'never get a scholarship...'. Denise graduated from this school in 2004 and is now playng basketball, on scholarship, at a four-year-Christian college! Thank you, Central. We miss you guys!

Community ratings and reviews do not represent the views of GreatSchools nor does GreatSchools check their accuracy or verify the reviewers' identities. Use your discretion when evaluating these reviews.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
