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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

At central high school my favorite part about it was definitely how much the teachers cared about us. They would go out of their way to make sure that we were alright. We were not a huge school, if I could change one thing it would be that we had more people in our graduating class. My favorite teachers were definitely Mrs Mac and Coach butler. Mrs Mac is an absolutely amazing person, she worked so hard to make sure everyone graduated. Coach Butler is the perfect image of a father and husband, I hope I can be half the man he is. Overall I would not have rather been anywhere else.

Central High School is one of the best schools I have been to. I have moved around many times in my life and when I came to Central, I did not want to leave. So now I am a senior about to graduate and I have been at this school since seventh grade. I am ecstatic about having had the chance to spend the last five years of my life in this school.

Overall, I have had a wonderful experience at Central High School. I loved how many friendships I have developed over the years. I enjoy getting to play volleyball and basketball. If I could change anything, it would be to eliminate having favorites and treating people differently. The teachers and coaches sometimes make exceptions because of who people are and who their parents are. I would change it so everyone is equal.
