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 overall experience at central high has been pretty normal, I don't really be in the way, I get my work done and go one with my day.

So I had my freshman year online, it was my hardest year and my worst year. Once 10th grade started, I tried to be involved in almost everything. I joined the band and I did colorguard. I had a lot of fun being in band and it made me see the school differently. Junior year I continued to stay in band and I joined our yearbook club. It got me more involved in the school. I took pictures of school events, I kept records of school games, I did everything. My Central experience has been so good so far since I have gotten involved. I am now going to the 12th grade and I am very excited to be involved in absolutely everything.
