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.

I attended Cheektowaga Central for all of high school. I excelled in classes due to the learning environment. Teachers were accommodating to academic needs and always often their assistance if needed. I felt prepared for college once graduated in 2021.

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.
