- This is the best elementary school in the upstate in Pickens County. My daughter has attented here for 2 years. This year will be her 3rd year. Since she has been at this school she has made the Honor Roll every quarter. The teachers at Central Elementary are Excellent. I give most of the praise to Mrs. Carson and Mrs. Fields. I look forward to meeting my daughters 4th grade teacher this coming school year. Mr. Somerville will be greatly missed, I wish him the best on his retirement. Central Cougars Rock!
