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 graduated from here about 3 years ago and enjoyed my time here. Though my favorite teachers have since left, I know that the sports teams still thrive and the students enjoy some of the advances that they are making with technology.

Farmington Central High School has the potential to be a great institution. Unfortunately they have had 2 superintendents, 4 principals, and 4 guidance counselors over the past 4 years. If current administration remains and continues leading the way they are, Farmington will rise to the top of small public high schools in Illinois.
