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.

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.

I switched to Muncie central in the middle of my sophomore year. I was immediately welcomed by the people I am currently friends with. There were a lot of fights but they were very quickly and safely broken up. I participated in cheer and in gymnastics my junior and senior year. It was amazing not many schools have gymnastics as an option.

We are glad we stayed in Muncie Community Schools for K-12. MCHS has a great early college program, and they have some truly excellent mentors in the teachers and coaches at this school. Wish their science program was a bit stronger, but their English, social studies, and math programs have been excellent.

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. He pushes the kids too fast and does not try to help the students be able to pass...
