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.

High Point Central overall was a great school that offered many classes and tracks. Personally I was a pretty safe environment but there were fights occasionally. The school is had diversity within the student body and the staff but it doesn't mean they are unified. Everyone is in there own group so it's hard to make friends without compromising yourself.
