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 my school is that they have lots of different clubs and sports, they also try to be very inclusive. The worst part about my school is they are sometimes not much help, they can be very unorganized and sloppy.

Muncie Central is a good school. It has good and bad times like any other school. Along with a close-knit community. We have good teachers and administrators. Your experience is what you make it. Teachers are helpful and want the best for their students.

My son is a sophomore here, they got more strict with fighting after the state came down on them. I have to say though that most of the teachers he really likes, but his Algebra 2 teacher is not at all a good teacher.
