I went to Central and got offered roughly $120k in merit scholarships to a top-10 university. Central also usually has about as many National Merit finalists as everybody else put together, and a WAY more accepting culture.

I was actually a national merit scholar from CHS in the early nineties. And I can confirm that it was a very accepting culture. I grew up as the nerdy kid and walked into that building terrified of being bullied. What I discovered was a community that cheered on the Science Olympiad team as wildly as they did the basketball team. I'm very proud of being a Central grad. SPS overall has some great schools with amazing teachers, but I wouldn't trade my experience at Central High for anywhere else.
