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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Central's culture between students and staff is indescribable. There is always a staff member treating you in the morning or there to help you in any situation. When it comes to extra curricular activities there is always something for everyone. If you can't find something perfect for you, you can start up a club that is better for you.

In my time at Central, I have faced a lot of aggression and hatred from other students due to my sexuality. While there are small groups of LGBTQ+ students, they tend to cluster together and become incredibly tight. The community fosters small, tight-knit friend groups, but those groups face lots of adversity.
