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.

Due to the school being a small setting for the most part, the diversity is limited to a degree but the academic opportunity available along with the college readiness it offers is undeniable. Also it has a great homey feel to it as well because everyone knows everyone. Only major flaw is lack of sports and facilities. Would still recommend attending, it a very solid, 4/5 school!!

The Academy at Central was a great school that helped prepare me for college. The nursing program also helped me in deciding what I wanted to study once I graduated high school. Additionally, because of the nursing program I was able to graduate as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and use it to work in a nursing home where I have gained experience that has gave me insight into what it would be like to pursue a career in the healthcare field.

I'm a recent alumni and I really love this school. You get the chance to experience the high school experience and you have the chance to get college credits. The teachers are amazing and over the four years you become really close to them and it's so hard to say goodbye.

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.
