This district is ranked 297 out of 313 districts in Iowa and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in the area's educational landscape.
Central High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 302 out of 340 Iowa high schools in 2024-2025 to 313 out of 338 in 2023-2024.

Academically, the school's performance, as measured by ISASP test scores, is generally below the state and district averages across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science for grades 9-11.
Despite the school's academic struggles, it has a relatively high percentage of students (43.54%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $15,092, which is higher than the state average, but the student-teacher ratio of 16.1 is slightly higher than the recommended ratio of 15:1. These factors suggest that the school and district may need to re-evaluate their resource allocation and strategies to better support student learning and engagement.
