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 had a range of ups and downs throughout my academic career at Westerville Central High School. Many of the staff are caring and supportive, but there are also a few teachers who barely teach anything. I've had teachers make fun of me for getting things wrong. There is also a severe discipline issue. The school is so large that students easily able to skip classes and cause disruption in the cafeteria and bathrooms. The bathrooms often have to be shut down to be cleaned due to this issue. However, I've been able to rely on the librarian for many things. She has let me stay under her supervision during lunch so that I don't have to be around the constant loud noises. I appreciate her greatly for this and it shows she really cares about her students.
