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.

Over all my experience in Central Park East High School was pretty good. I enjoyed my time with people like my classmates my teachers. It seemed more diverse in the academics and within the people. Many people were kind and it was a nice environment for the last couple of years.
