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.

This school doesn't make the students be held accountable for their bad behavior, students mistreat the teachers and substitute teachers very bad , those students don't have any respect to teachers or adults in general, they don't want to learn , they just wanna play games all the time and do nothing, students throw balls at the teacher and the AP's just take them to office and later on they go back to class like nothing happened, there's no support at all , please don't send your kids there, do not work there either . there are fights in the hallways and cafeterias too .

I like my school, especially the art campus. Our musicals are on another level, never imagined that high school musicals can be THAT GOOD. All art-related teachers are very passionate and helpful for their students.

Intentionally excellent is the KISD motto. Very much applied at Central. Advanced curriculum and teachers are first-rate. Staff dedicated and continuously challenging the students. Students can excel in this environment if they choose. KISD budgets are robust and thoughtfully spent.

I absolutely love this school's administration! They have gone above and beyond to help my daughter with problems she's been having. We moved here two years ago & she is a bit different, so I was worried she would be bullied, but it's never happened. In fact she's had nothing but good interactions w...
