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.

My best part about Bay City Central Highschool was the prep rallies where we'd watch the band and dance team play before the game. My worst was when there was school threat for a shooting.

Mostly due to the counselor I am stuck with as well as the variety of bad teachers.
