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.

Gordon Central is an amazing school, I enrolled half way into my freshman year and everyone was so welcoming. The teachers are incredibly understanding and try to help you achieve your goals in life and school. My American Literature teacher is an extraordinary person. She not only is a great teacher, but she also goes out of her way to help us with college. All in all, GCHS is a wonderful school for learning and making friends. There's a place for everyone.

I'm currently a senior at Gordon Central High school. I feel excitement and safety when I walk through those doors every morning. The teachers,Faculty, and administrators help me and all the students at the school seek success and opportunities every single day. I wouldn't change anything about my school. Everything has been and should be great, just like how things are going now .

There is no single person who doesn't feel like they have a purpose in that our Warrior mission statement is to Find your Tribe. I will forever cherish the lifelong relationships I have made with friends, adults, and clubs beyond just high school.

She has gotte...
