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 would probably be our college readiness. All of our seniors and upcoming seniors for the most part is on track . We have had the highest graduation rate for the past 3 years . Our teachers are teaching us right and making sure we are ready for the real world. All our teachers are engaged , any teacher in the building would help if it's needed. The bad thing bout central always be the freshman. I guess because they are new and want to be seen but freshman always come and get out of character, They aren't just bad bad but they make bad decisions .
