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.

This is the Principals 2nd year here at central, and he is doing amazing things. Our last principal has moved up to superintendent of Portage. Most all the teachers are wonderful people. Support staff is always working to help.

I went to the school to speak with the principal about my child being unjustly suspended, not only was she unwilling to speak with me, but she also called the police on me. I guess these schools don't like minorities.
