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.

Hammond Central High School (formerly Hammond High) is a very unique learning environment that provides all the credentials for success. Of course, every high school has its up's and downs, but with the amazing faculty, helping teachers, and the materials they provide, they definitely make education fun and the technology they provide make learning so much more innovate and interesting.
