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 have attended Center Hill Schools since third grade and have rarely been disappointed by the education provided. On the other hand, students could benefit by a more proactive counseling team in terms of helping students prepare for the college search. Some schools in the area have counselors who meet with each student one on one to talk about the college search and offer their guidance but I have rarely encountered anything of the sort at Center Hill.

Center hill is an outstanding school. This school makes you feel safe at all times. Their teachers actually are very concerned about each individual grade.

As a senior at Center Hill High School , I feel like my time at Center Hill has been fairly enjoyable . Besides having to deal with crazy teachers and kids fighting one another , the school it's self isn't that bad . Center Hill's Arts Program is doing well . I enjoyed the Arts Programs the most at Center Hill . I've been in Chior for 4 years and now I'm President of the Top Chior at Center Hill . Academically , Center Hill does pretty well, with an A school rating .

Maybe if the Middle school had their school listed in the first place the high school would not be getting their reveiws as well. Either way the schools are within 3 blocks of each other and the problems still remain. The principle of the High school stays hidden in his office and doesn't have the g...

My child will take Math all the way to calculus but I had to pay for tutors. My child is a minority and it really makes a difference at this school. Look at schools test scores for minority students in math. My daughter had a non-minority friend to turn in homework exactly the same as hers and she r...

I completely disagree with the November 2013 review where the parent cites poor Math teachers at Center Hill High. My son attended this school for 3 years. I did NOT make a mistake choosing this school, after having moved from Shelby County schools. My son has scored 30+ on the ACT and has received...
