My school is a 10!!

Central Middle School is offically a 10 in similar school ranking. For those of you in education, you're probably aware, but this means A LOT. Compared to schools with the same demographics as us and difficulties that we face, we are the top of the top! Woo Hoo!! For the last three years we've been a 9 and it didn't look like we'd ever make it to the desired 10, but after last year we did it. I am proud.

My previous principal and current VP came into Central and turned it around; by looking at the ten and now numbers it is evident that their hard work has paid off. It has been a privilage to work at such a great school, with such great people for the last three years. Although this year has been a major challange, and will probably continue to be so, it doesn't change that we (as a united staff) worked hard and that hard work has paid off!

We are a 10!

Our lessons are 10s.
