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 overall experience at DeSoto Central Middle School is one has continued to deeply affect me academically even to this day.9 it instilled me a strong work ethic and desire to succeed that I believe has helped me to do just that in both high school and college. The results have helped to gain incredible opportunities that I otherwise would not have access to. The school was also had a very welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere that has only been scarcely replicated in my collegiate experience.
