About Our School

CENTRAL SCHOOL

Central Elementary School is the oldest school facility in Central School District. Construction of the current school facilities was initiated in 1949. The facility was expanded in three more phases in 1953, 1955, and 1957. Over the years, portable classrooms were also added to the site to accommodate student population growth, special programs, and the Class Size Reduction program. In 2000 a major modernization and new construction project was completed which resulted in the addition of a new Library, Computer Lab, Special Educations rooms, a Research Lab, modernized staff and administration facilities, and a county Special Education facility.

This school has 27 classrooms, a multipurpose room, a serving kitchen, a library, a computer lab, special purpose rooms including those for Special Education, a Research Lab, a parent volunteer room, and an administration building. Also located adjacent to the site are both the District Warehouse and the District Maintenance and Operations facilities.

Central School serves over 590 students in grades K-5. The staff consists of more than 60 certificated and classified employees, both full and part time. Specially trained state credentialed professionals provide psychological services, health services, language-speech therapy, tutoring, and special education.
