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.

Lawrence Central High School was definitely a great experience for me. The school offers help for all sorts of problems, as the staff cares for its students and they'll try to help the best they can. I've seen help offered no matter what, even if it is mentally, physically or emotionally, and many students thrive from the help.

I have been a Lawrence Central High School student for a year and a half. My experience so far has been undeniably great. The teachers are welcoming and the staff is respectful as well. My least favorite part about Lawrence Central is the Performing Arts program. The only thing I would change is the favoritism show is the Performing Arts department.

My son had a wonderful experience at Lawrence Central. The environment was safe and nurturing. He was able to accomplish all of his goals both academically and athletically, which helped him secure a full- four year scholarship to college.
