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.

Of all my years at Central High School, I would say that I have made many good memories. While it has not been perfect, I would still give it five stars.

It is a county school in Alabama, the funding is limited but we do have some wonderful people in the community that donate and wonderful parents that help with maintenance.

I like the people and the community. Everybody is nice and it is a safe environment. I wish there were more electives to pick from and I wish there were more classes to prepare you for college. I wish there were more activities that were not sports related like a drama class or a graphic design class. Also, I wish there were more options for a foreign language other than just Spanish.
