I am grateful for the wonderful staff and teachers at Central School! Best decision moving my children here. We love that it is K-12 and that my kids can attend the same school as well as the amazing community support. Truly a gem of a school experience for my whole family. Highly recommend for anyone thinking about becoming a Jaguar.

This is a top notch school. The small class size is so uncommon now and makes a huge difference. The teachers and staff are always friendly. The school likes to get the kids involved with lots of community and class events/ activities.

This is a great school. I would have to say it is the best kept secret in Santa Rosa County. My children attend this school and they absolutely love it!

Whatever you do, do not send your kid to Central. If you are new or ese, then you have to be a bully just to fit in. I came to this school and i hated it so i dont want my kid attending

You could not ask for a better Principal or Teachers, they actually care about the kids and the school is small enough that everybody can care. Your kids are NOT just a student ID # here.
