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.

Central High School is an amazing high school! Central provides students with a multitude of opportunities whether it be through extracurricular activities or in the classroom! Administrators and faculty are constantly encouraging students to do their best inside and outside of the classroom!

It is a great school with so much variety of things you can join and be in! The teachers for the most part are great and administration is amazing and always willing to help! The only "problem" I have is the cleanliness of the bathrooms because most students do not really take care of it and it is just a vape spot.

This school is a good place to learn and grow as a person, with many classes and extracurriculars offered. The food is usually rather underdone or lacking in nutrition, but it isn't just the schools fault. It's due to what Micheal Obama had said about school foods and the laws she had passed, so I don't blame the school itself. The safety is also an issue but that's because it's a some-what low income based location and so many kids are involved in things they shouldn't be involved in, which is again not a direct fault of the school's.
