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 experience at Central High School is not the best. The food is terrible, the teachers are basic (NOT ALL OF THEM!!), and the education could be better. The only reason why I'm still attending is because mom my friends.

I learned how to help others and be able to communicate with teachers about education and being prepared for the real world. Over the years, i learned that not every student is able to have the same education as others.

I liked that Central is a very college readiness environment and the teachers love helping to make sure the students get into the college that they want to. What should change about the school is their food.
