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 have been a part of central for all four years of my high school career. Though I wish there was more student activities and involvement, I really enjoy the atmosphere. I think a lot of people here have a good time finding friends, and there is such a variety of classes and opportunity for everyone.

Central has been a wild ride but i honestly dont feel safe because i know kids leave the school and they open the door for people we don't know who could be dangerous. But we have an amazing sports department and we are d1 always going to championships and finals etc.

I love it at Central. The teachers are great to talk to. The classes are very diverse and there are plenty of AP courses I can choose from. The sports program is also very excellent and we pride over our academics as well as sports. It's a very good environment and I'm very happy here.
