School Reviews
5 3/10/2018
This is by far one of the finest middle schools in the area. I have lived in this community for 30 years. My children have attended multiple middle schools and this school is exceptional. I know that their test scores from last year dominated in many areas. The administration is a cohesive unit with many teachers who are mature with many years of experience. Oklahoma is changing as educators leave our state but this school is a diamond amongst others. You will not be disappointed in it. I believe in the last two years the discipline problems have been low to non existent.

I would recommend a TRANSFER to anyone in the boundries of their child going to Central Middle School. This school has been nothing but a nightmare to my children. The school's administration does nothing about the problems at this school. My children have been bullied for years at this school. The school does nothing. They have been exposed to drugs at this school. The school does nothing. The academic standards are below normal. If you want your child to succeed in school and feel safe while they are attending school, please send them somewhere else.
