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.

The best part in my high school experience were the clubs that I was able to join and the art department teachers who continently showed their care for the students, but the worst part of my high experience was probably my freshmen year since it was during covid.

My time at Central Highschool has been enjoyable. While I couldn't get the full highschool experience; due to Covid keeping me from having my freshman year at the school. I have been able to learn from amazing teachers, enjoy the school's amazing theatre department and participate in some of there shows.

Intentionally excellent is the KISD motto. Very much applied at Central. Advanced curriculum and teachers are first-rate. Staff dedicated and continuously challenging the students. Students can excel in this environment if they choose. KISD budgets are robust and thoughtfully spent.
