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.

Lake central has lots of resources for students, but it's up to the student to take advantage of them. They offer many classes, clubs, and opportunities for academic assistance. It's a large school, and there's a lot of chances to meet new people and to make friends.

Lake Central High School is an okay school. The school focuses a lot on sports. The class size is very large with a minimum of 30 students in each class.

Best part about lake central is the diversity and all the available clubs, sports and organizations offered to the students. Worst part, because there are so many students, it's hard to get to know everyone. Wish more activities and functions were held to involve all the students.

All three of my kids loved Lake Central. They never felt that it was too big or overwhelming. They liked the vast majority of their teachers and felt that they were well prepared for college classes.
