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.

Pickerington high school central is place whereby bullying, mischievous and racist behavior are not tolerated. Being a black American I face lots of rejections and racist acts from others, so I focused my time on volunteering which turned out great and my overal treatment improved at Pickerington central and Pickerington public library. At times I feel down and lonely but with the help of my teachers, I am able to be myself.

Some of the teachers needed to be better to me personally. I tried to chanage to a lower class as I could not handle going to advanced classes and my math teacher was no help and she had gotten mad at me for it.

The best part of my experience was our wonderful administration that came over my last 2 final years of high school. Where they made incredible efforts to rebuild I'll school back into what it once was, if not better. -The worst part about my experience was the students who couldn't care less about school or were only in school so they could play sports.

Unfortunately, my overall experience at this school was negative. Many teachers I had, did not go above and beyond in several aspects. For example, when I was struggling in an algebra class and asked the teacher for assistance, she frequently had an excuse as to why she couldn’t give me a few minute...
