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.

The teachers can be disrespectful at times and the staff are more worried about enforcing a no phone policy than the students themselves.

Overall, I had a good experience at Center High! Though there were a few teachers whose methods I disagreed with, I was able to graduate with flying colors and am now in college.

My best experience at the school would have to be the friendships and socialization I was allowed to have. I have made amazing life long friends through the high school that wouldn't have been possible without the school. I have also been able to better myself as a human in the social aspect because of the amount of events that we are allowed to speak at. Some bad experiences I would have to say would be the organization of the school. The school is not very organized and it sometimes gets chaotic with new students until they learn everything. One thing I want to see change is again the organization of the school. They seem to not be able to work together to achieve what is wanted by the student body as a whole.
