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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

I've had a few good and bad experiences with my schools, but I'll say the good outweighs the bad. One bad experience I had was when I started a petition for us to wear regular clothes, and it was presented to the school board after most parents voted yes. A good experience I've had is great Friday nights during football.

My experience was pretty okay. I liked Everything besides a few minor things. Time heals things I guess. Hopefully the school district gets better.

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.
