Every month, millions of students and families use the Niche grades and report cards to find the right school or neighborhood.
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 overall experience at Midwest Central has been good. I moved to Midwest Central when I was in 4th grade and have been here ever since. This school teaches you a lot about how to connect to others. I have had many friends along the way of being at this school. The teachers at every school in this district are awesome and want the best for you. They give you advice and help with any scholarships that you need help filling out. Overall this school has been good to me.
