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.

Classroom sizes are small. Teachers work hard to make sure each student is getting the help they need to go on to college.Each student and adult is enriched by being part of my school. Administrators and teachers use great tools to communicate to their students and the students families. Changes would be to see more college courses offered. Teachers should encourage students to do more volunteering to help others succeed.

At Central we have a great nurse that is here a few days out of the week. Otherwise the office ladies are very good at taking care of us and helping us with what we need. There are also many higher staff members that help with bullying and drug issues.

The experience I've had at this school has been excellent. One of my favorite was doing the musical. I was typically a sports guy and had never done it before. However, finally doing it brought me out of my comfort zone and did the musical again this year and now the play.
