Its performance on standardized tests is below the state average, with only 14% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 37%.

Central High High School has a relatively small student population of 118 students and a student-teacher ratio of 15:1. The school has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 41.53% in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating that it serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. The per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $14,216, which is above the state average, but the academic performance data suggests that the funding may not be effectively allocated or utilized to improve student outcomes.
The high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0% in the 2024-2025 school year is a concern and may be contributing to the school's overall academic performance. Addressing the root causes of absenteeism could be an important area of focus for the school. Overall, the data suggests that Central High High School is facing significant challenges in maintaining its academic performance and supporting its student population, which will likely require a comprehensive approach to address both academic and non-academic factors.
