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.

Salina Central is a good school overall. There are many opportunities for students to explore several of their interests and career pathways. Salina Central High School is a 5A school which does have some effect on the sense or feeling of community at times. That said, the school does a good job at trying to make students feel welcomed and heard for the most part.

I like Salina Central's sports and culture. There are constantly posters and themes being put out for games and during football season, the student section is packed and excited. I would like to see more involvement with teachers and the board, because there are a lot of issues that could be solved if the teachers and board communicated.

Teachers and staff go above and beyond. The school is clean. The secretaries are polite and answer questions. The teachers work exceptionally hard to meet students at their level. The school offers many clubs, activities, and sports.
