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.

My experience at Germantown Central School was exceptional. I really enjoyed the drama club as well as participating in the school drama productions. I also enjoyed my time in playing for the male's varsity volleyball team. Other than that my experiences were ok. The class were not so difficult nor were they easy.

I have grown a lot from my experiences at this school. However, it is a small campus in a small town and so one's expectations of the social scene should keep this in mind. In the academic sense, the school goes above and beyond. It is important to remember to leave campus and leave the school bubble every now and then. Despite saying this, I couldn't imagine attending a massive university where the teacher does not know my name. I would most definitely choose this school again.
My school is pretty good. I feel like we've definitely grown with opportunities and activities. We still have some bumps to get over, but we'll always have some. I'm pretty happy with the way the school has handled majority of things.
