Crystal Lake Central High School

School administrators and teachers treat each student as an individual.

Excellent education. Well rounded, many high level classes offered. Specifically literature and sciences.

Central has been an incredible home for my kids. They all have been challenged, felt supported, and been able to 'be themselves,' without feeling judged or like they didn't fit in. The staff is incredible. The teachers overall are excellent and truly care. I have no ptoblems talking honestly and openly to any staff member or teacher at this school about my kids' needs. The culture is positive, energetic, and fun. My kids have had a blast and been well prepared at CLC.

I owe much of my success in college to Central. I go to school at Marquette University, and already I've come across other freshman who have had a hard time adjusting to their college courses. Through the various honors and AP courses I took during my time at Central, I was able to come into college well-prepared; as well as with a very good understanding of what was going to be expected of me in a higher-level classroom setting.
