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.

My son has enjoyed his high school years at Central Davidson High School. He was a part of student government. He has taken 4 AP courses. He has been on the football and track teams for 4 years.

All around, it's not a bad school. The teachers try their best to teach and make the class fun. We have a bunch of kids, so the classes are full of a lot of students, which makes it difficult for teachers to teach more one-on-one.

I liked going here and would love to send my future kids here. My little siblings also go to school there. One of my favorite memories from here is the pep rallies for homecoming. I was a cheerleader so I did performance during it and they were the best. I liked how close knit everyone was and we all had each others backs. If I had to do it all over I would definitely want to go back to central. I liked being on the cheer team and just being involved with the school. I would say I enjoyed school and if I was somewhere else I'm not sure it would have been the same. Central is like a second home to me and I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else.
