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.

Central Academy is a Poor school. The academics there is kind of below average. They don't offer and AP classes and just regular classes that will not stand out on college applications. They way they treat their students is horrible. They are also racist and I do not recommend to anyone. They let the non-black kids say derogatory words and don't do anything about it but when it's black kids they act like it's the end of the world. It was a regret decision for me to go there my freshman year of High school. Glad to say that I am moving on to a hopefully better school.

I had a great experience at central academy. I learned the true meaning of friendship and i learned how to manage my time wisely. I practiced stepping out f my hermit shell and engaging in school and community activities. i learned the importance of giving back to the community as well. Central Academy prepared me for college for that I will forever owe them my gratitude.

Caring, fabulous, and amazing staff are what make this school incredible. They go above and beyond to help support student learning. While they do not offer AP or IB curriculum, they willingly pay for dual-enrollment courses, and, as a rising senior, I will be able to graduate with over 40 college c...
