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.

I went to Central all four of my years in high school and id like to say that for a public school they really have some good things going as far as resources and options for college bound and workforce bound students. they have a little bit of everything for everyone and its a very supportive culture and school.

Natchitoches Central High School is a great place to be at. From the academics to the sports there are so many great opportunities. Our school takes pride in our chief culture. Our principal Micah Coleman makes sure that our school is clean and welcoming as he can. We might not be the best in the nation, but we are proud of our little school. The facilities are the best we can hope for considering the size of our school population.
