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 really enjoy this school personally it helped especially with the the mental health resources and amazing therapist they have at this school and great access to them. The academics are amazing as well since we are a supported school with CCA and I have taken college classes since my sophomore year and its amazing the teachers too and they try hard with after school tutoring and teachers available at all times of the day. Safety needs a little work but overall it's been a lot better this year and there more cautious with the doors and who there opening to.

As a senior attending Aurora Central High School, ive grown and incredible ammount. This school has provided me with a life i thought i would have never gotten to expeirrnce. the diversty at this school makes it incredibly easy to fit in and find both students and teachers who understad and care for you. And as someone whos had a rough life at home i could not be more greatful for for meeting to people i have met at this shool. I hope that in the future this school gets more fanancial aid to provide more opportunites for the students here.

Over the years central has struggled with safety issues, they have been trying to improve their security with fences and with more and safer faculty. The School breakfast and lunch choices could be better.
