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.

Mat-Su Central gives me flexibility to personalize my education. I have many opportunities to study a wide range of subjects as well take advantage of domestic and international education travel experiences. I do not really have anything that I wish was different about the school or my experience there.
