Bad, so bad. Never come. So bad communication with parents and children. I took my child away from here.

I wasn't even supposed to be at this school. Instead ending up here due to me being in this district and having too poor of grades to change back to antelope. Though, this curse was the best thing to happen to me, I met a ton of new friends, dozens and dozens of insightful teachers who will nearly always help you, especially the MCA teachers! Though, some of the worst is a bit tedious like with MCA; but it's nothing too difficult to overcome.. I saw a review here about this school not setting up people for the real world... You have to take Finance and economics to graduate, unless it's changed by the time of me writing this. Otherwise this is a great social school, the new freshmen and such are a little weird and crazy, but they'll tone down and be normal. We have a good amount of mixing between grade levels so it's not just seniors and juniors keeping to themselves, but they go and talk and work with each other. I'll have to guess these reviewers are ones who never try to email their teacher, or talk with them, or anything -- schools great! read more

SYF football Here for the first time for an SYF game as the season kicks off this weekend for youth football. Review is for the "Eason Field". School colors are blue and yellow. Lots of bleacher seating for spectators on both sides (home and visitors). Surrounded by some greenery and pine trees. The school seems fairly new [1984] and well-kept, the field is nice and clean. I like the fact that the field is right immediately inside coming from the parking lot and is wheelchair accessible. Good sound system for when announcement or music is played. Nice school but take care of the refs. The referees and EMT were not provided a tent/pop up during the games. Temps were highs 88 today, luckily, not in the 3-digits, but can still be hot especially when out on the field for a long period of time. The school could, at least, have provided the pop up tents for shade during halftimes and in-between games. The school was easy to find, close to Elverta... near fast food places, gas station and a huge Goodwill store across the street. Review #0344 read more

Graduate of class of 2016 with a average GPA of 3.0 over 4 years when a majority of my time spent at home was gaming. During the spring, I did track and field but I still had time for gaming. Point being, anybody can get good grades if they really want to while doing sports or hobbies at home. But the real reason behind this review is how center high school set up their students for failure. The school system has a huge responsibility when it comes to teaching their students about the nasty dark reality outside of school. Center high school believed it was more important to learn about Shakespeare than explaining how to do your taxes, how to be financially literate, and how to a functioning adult in this corrupt state of California. We are nothing more than a $$$ to this school system, they don't care about us but they force attendance otherwise they don't get their cut. Attendance should be optional, home school should be given as an option for those who don't want to waste time goofing around in school and want a early head start in life and work. You don't need a college degree to be successful nowadays. I'm not saying it won't be easy without a degree but schooling is just a waste of time and money if there is no 100% guarantee of employment after your degree. Look at what covid showed us, you can be unemployed for refusal of the vaccine or you could be the tens of thousands who were laid off because of the economy. Work for yourself, love yourself, and think about yourself. Center high school needs to expose students on lessons on how to survive after graduation, not preparation for college which is optional. The only thing great about center high school was the media communication academy (MCA) and the teachers. I've learned a lot of USEFUL knowledge from MCA that CHS could not provide which is quite absurd. I thank all the teachers for their support and guidance and encouragement throughout the years. Without MCA, center high school would've felt like a prison just like Wilson C. Riles. To all of the great teachers who have retired or are planning to soon, thank you for everything. read more

The saying is True, monkey see monkey do. A staff at the district and a staff at the school is the same. One attitude. With that said, no wonder their school rating is a 7. What family would want their child at this school? Relocation during this Covid19 Pandemic is already overwhelming and to deal with these 2 during a process that is so simply is frustrating. They made it unbearable when it doesn't have to be. Guess it all comes down to $$$ they get for a child to attend at their school. Living in another city but have to drive across town to another city because old district mapping makes no sense. When a school just open within 5 miles radius, we cannot get approve. So if it isn't about money then what is it? Yet, its okkkk for my family to waste money on gas when I can use it to put food on the table. Use that gas money to keep the electricity on and water running. No let's just use it to drive a 30 minutes ride to and from school, 1 hr total. Hey it's not their money so why care. That reason isn't good enough in those 2 eyes to approve my transfer request for my child. What is? read more

This school is the reason we moved to the area 15 years ago. Our son graduated in 2010 and our daughter will graduate in 2017. A hidden gem of a school. Academics, sports, theatre, 911 dispatcher program, SMUD engineer program and more. read more
