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.

Surry Central High School is a good school. It is very diverse and everyone is accepted. The teachers are great.

I like how the staff actually cares about you. They see you yourself and not just another student. One thing that needs to change is the freshman need to be shown the rules. They are ruining the things we take advantage of and actually use like smart lunch. They also need to show the freshman that is not good just to do whatever they want. They can't leave whenever they want. There is rules for a reason and they need to follow the rules. The upperclassmen are getting mad because we actually do what we are supposed and the freshman are getting things took from us.

This school is a very good school to attend if you're looking for great opportunities to advance your education and go forward into the future. The school prepares each child for adulthood and the college life. Each junior and senior is capable of taking college classes at the local community college next door, the ACT's are paid for, the school and its environment is safe for all who attends.

My experience here was not good at all. I was targeted for being different. They tried to kick me out over trivialities, and I had to contact the ACLU to get any peace. I found out after graduating that I am Autistic, and I've been receiving treatment that has changed my life for the better. So many...

Extremely terrible and I do not recommend that you send your student here and majority of our students are trying to get moved to a different school.
