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.

I enjoy the smaller class size and the one on one time the teachers give you. They genuinely care about their students.

My experience at the academy overall was a great experience. I loved the teachers their and the students. The only thing i would change about the academy is that we have a stricter principle in charge of running my school

The Academy at Central is a very small school and we normally do not have many clubs or sports as i wish we did. We normally play with our home schools and provide small after school clubs that can accommodate small groups.

Great school, I have graduated from there but the friends that I have made there still say that it's a great school. Fighting and bullying levels are slim to none and test scores and grades are pretty good. The teachers are very helpful and easy to trust.
