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.

Some things I liked about Wilson Central High School was that the teachers and staff care about the students personal life and they are understanding with us. Another thing was that students get an hour lunch and they can use this time for tutoring if needed. Something I would change is that some clubs and sports programs get a lot more support than others.
