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.

Cheektowaga Central High School was a lovely place. During my time there, I learned many helpful lessons for the future and had many enjoyable experiences. It is a delightful place where one can make many friends and enjoy their time there. I liked how I could always talk to my teachers or my counselor if I ever needed to speak to someone. They would always give me helpful advice that I took in and used throughout my time there. I hope that anyone who goes there has a great experience like I did and enjoy the atmosphere there as much as I did.

I've been at this school all my life and it is great. Teachers and Administrators honestly care for and go the extra mile for every single person in this school, Cheektowaga Central was always my safe place. Kids in this school are all great and kind, of course there's gonna be a few mean ones here and there but that's bound to happen. I'm gonna miss this school and it's staff so much, looking forward to visiting in a couple years and even sending my own kids here.

There are some things I love about Cheektowaga High School, one of them is how the teachers goes to their extra miles to help any students to get there grades up by staying after school. The other things is playing sport is so much fun you get to compete with tough school and get to improve while doing so.

Great, loving staff. The other students there are questionable, though. Not the place to be if you really want to get the best education possible. The curriculum is okay, but not as thorough and challenging as it should be.
