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.

Our sports teams are definitely not great, so if you're looking here for that you should reconsider. Our performing arts programs are really good, though. We regularly get rewards for that, and there's more than just acting.

This is where I chose to raise my kids and Gordon Central has done a great job getting my kids ready for College and life after school. My kids love all of the great opportunities that Gordon Central offers in Athletics and the Arts.
