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 liked going to McCook Central because it is a small school and you are able to get the attention you need from your teachers. Small class sizes has definitely helped me succeed while being here. One thing that needs improvement is our school lunches. They are not very appetizing.
4.0 Junior

What stands out with McCook Central is their music department and FFA Chapter (the FFA Chapter is one of the best in the nation and the best in the state). Students are extremely involved in extracurriculars and school activities.

The school is a little outdated but technology is a huge part of the curriculum here. Student computers are updated at least every two years. The staff is helpful for the most part too.
