Kalamazoo Central High School Reviews

 
My son goes to central, now in his senior yr, I'm glad is almost over, I don't really care for this school, its overwhemlingly big, too many teens in one confine space, and the violence its horrible, along with the bullying! that needs to stop., but they are few teachers that care, and thats why my son will be graduating. if I had another choice of school , I would taken it. I don't recomend this school to people., but then again, the choices for public education are limited.

Over all it was a great experience. I made some amazing friends and had many great expperinces through extra curriculars. High Marks for extra curriculars, poor marks on some of the text books. Lower level math thext books for classes like geometry and algrebra 1 and 2 just don't measure up to those I used at my previous school. My sister had a harder time learning from them that they should have. Teachers do encourage students to learn the information for themselves which is great. The school is very sports focusedd, especially when it comes to basketball. This isn't necessarily bad, but if your child is involved in other activities, don't expect a lot of school recognition. Other than a few curriculum issues KC is a Great School.

this school is amazing. the teachers are wonderful and they are always willing to help out.

This is a richly diverse school with some wonderful, dedicated teachers. However, there are serious problems with achievement, including graduation rates and test scores; and very poor communications with parents. However, the school district has received some grants and is working diligently on reform. These efforts have included making changes in key personnel, including principal, effective this coming year. I am hopeful that some of these changes will reap positive benefits, but it is far too early in the process to see any results. Extracurriculars are worthy of 5 stars! There are few avenues for parents to have meaningful input in anything but extracurriculars. Safety and discipline are on-going issues for this age group. The school does house a police officer and has security personnel. Consistently implementing procedures according to policies is frequently an issue. However, the district is creating avenues to manage these issues now and into the

I am also not a parent but I went to Kalamazoo Central this year and I loved it. I was not happy when they told me that I had to move. I liked my teachers and all the staff. I have reasons why I liked the teachers so much. They will give up their time to sit down with you one on one and help you with anything that you need. I know that those teachers dedicate them slef to their job. Ilove all you at Kalamazoo Central. Special thatnk to Mr. Myles. Angel Clark

Kalamazoo Central high school offers kids a great, friendly, healthy environment. I was an exchange student in that school and enjoyed every single second. Every day I felt like in paradise. I love you KC.

I am not a parent, but I do attend Kalamazoo Central High School. This year (2004-2005) I will be a Senior. I have really enjoyed going to K Central. The school is very diverse and the teachers are great.

I'm not a parent, but i do attend Kalamazoo Central. I think that it is a really good school to attend, because it is realy diverse and there are no race issues and all of the kids really seem to get along. The teachers are very understandable and eager to reach out a helping hand to help all of the students achieve and succeed! I really enjoy going to this school, because you learn alot, but in the mean time you meet alot of friends and have fun!

Kalamazoo Central High School is a wonderful school to attend. It is very diverse, almost all the students find a common ground to level onwith each other. The athletic programs are wonderful. The school spirit and love for the school itself is amazing to see. Academically the school needs a little work, but many of the faculty see the issue and reach out to the striving students, still some don't. Things like the after school programs like Novanette which is desined to help regain loss credit is a wonderful addition to the school. There are so many great things at Kalamazoo Central and it is a great place to be overall.

This school, although overly violent at times, is rich in diversity which makes it a good school to learn about life at. As far as education goes, it is possibly not the best school to attend, however, there are a few excellent teachers which make all the difference.
