GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Clarke central sometimes make me question what kind of education I am getting/ the location of our school in Athens ga makes me feel like everything here is for ugh students and not residents. I have had a handful of unprofessional teachers, and also a handful of some whose passion really is to teach. Our district is small and questionable but I am certain they will set me up for success the best way they know how.

This school has been home for me for the last four years of my life and it's been four of the best. The teacher really care about making sure you understand what you need to understand and are there to support in any way they can.
