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.

This school is not a bad one. Small classes make for a great environment and the teachers that care make it even better. The athletics are climbing up the ladder with state championships in football this past season. GO REBS

It is alright I guess. The people and teachers are rude and the teaching is meh. The school is old and needs renovating badly.

I love going to school at Scott Central because it's smaller than a lot of schools. Everyone basically knows everyone, so it is fairly easy to form close relationships not only with fellow students but also teachers and other staff members. Everyone is always willing to help. If I could, I would change the way that some of the rules are set up because there are a few that I do not agree with. I would also add more groups and change how the money is spent, but overall it is a really good school.
