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.

The best part about Central Gwinett high-school is the diversity. The worst part about Central is the students.

One thing I personally would like to see change about the school is certain restrictions. We had many things food wise taken away such as the food in the vending machines as well as our school store and many within the student body would love to see those things implemented again. They helped make our school a more enjoyable place.

There are definitely better schools in the county but the energy of the school makes it worth staying. The electives are the most interesting part of the day and most teachers want to see students succeed.

We transferred from one of the highest rated schools in the county to this school because of the drug and alcohol problem. When parents have alot of money they don't raise their children. Central has a new Principal that means business. We look forward to seeing excellent growth with their high rank...

This school is full of spirit! We have many opportunities with our academies. The leadership team is making great changes and we have already improved. We find unity in diversity everyday and that is what makes us strong. I love this school and wouldn't want to go anywhere else!
