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.

The school has a great football team and that's manly the only sport that is really important at that school. The school is kind of boring all together though. The school should have more school culture and many more fun activities.

The best part about central is that you get to meet lots of different people and the worst parts is there are a god amount of fights happening here and there.

My experience at Thomas County Central High School had some ups and downs. The best part of the school is when you have friends you can laugh with. The teachers are so nice and fun to have around, and they know how to teach. The school may not have the best food in the world but they make sure you are fed. The down that we had was when they wouldn't allow us to wear pajama pants but they lighted up in the later year and allowed it. Needless to say, Thomas County is a great school to learn and laugh.

This school is a home away from home. This is typically hard to find in a public school. I know for a fact...
