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.

Teachers are bad. I have had many bad experiences with them. Has basketball, volleyball, and track for sports. Orchestra and band program. Not diverse. All white kids, about 25% are Jewish and has about 10-20 Asian and Indian kids per grade and maybe 1 or 2 black kids.

While I'm sure there is room for improvement, and I'm sorry to hear that some students are struggling at Central, I have to disagree with the comments about Central having a weak math program.
