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.

My time at Central Visual and Performing Arts High School has been full of wonderful experiences such as making Long lasting friends and beautiful performances. The connection that I have built with my teachers and other students will forever keep me in contact with them if I ever need help. Overall the school is great and I would highly recommend other students to go to this school if they want to achieve their performing art career.

My experience with Central VPA has been good. This school does well with letting students be who they want with out discriminating against them. Central accepts students for who they are and allows them to express their ideas. Students can have input on designs or decorations around Central. Something that could be fixed is the food quality and activities. Central could also have sports for those students interested.
