My child graduated from Cleveland Central Catholic High School this past school year of 2009. I was very satisfied with the help I received when he came from another school. He was much happier after tranferring and there were other opportunities available for him that his previous school did not offer. I am so grateful for everyone's support. This is a Great school. I give them a 5 star...............

Great school where teachers go far beyond a job and see their occupation as a calling. it has been a joy to be around this family of Cleveland Central Catholic.

My son attended CCC his freshmen year, I was not pleased. The student are out of control, the dress code is way off wearing saggy pant and Timberland boots, what happened to dress shoes????? What a waste! There is NO STRUCTURE. My son will be attending Benedictine his sophomore year.

Central is NOT a poor school. Its Teachers and Faculty care dearly about their students. It is up to the student to ask for the individual help. It is not the Teachers and Faculties job to hold your child's hand the whole way. If that is what you seek.. I'll tell you now that your child is going to have a hard time in college cause to the professors you are just a number and they can care less. As a Class of 2008 Graduate of Cleveland Central Catholic I am grateful for the education that Central has giving me not just in school but also in life. Those people have made me into the person I am today and i will always remember them for that. I'll will be sending my children there in the future. Go Ironmen!

Central is a great school to attend. I recently graduated from ccchs and I already miss it so much. I am now attending Marietta college which central got me ready for and they also made sure I could go to college financially because my mom is a single parent. the teachers not only teach for the best of the students, they actually care about you as a parent and want you to succeed. they even give out extra help to students with disabilities so they can graduate too. central prepared me for the future and became my second family. if you send your child here I think that they will say the samethings im explaining. when you first get to central you hate it just because its school and you could be doing something else but when you graduate you realize that you actually love it and will miss it forever.

I just recently graduated from CCC in 2006. I've realized that some of my teacher my senior are better than some of my college professors. Being at CCC has taught me life lessons that I normally would have if I had gone to a different catholic high school. Central is only getting better with Mr. Ertle in control.

My son recently granduated from Cleveland Central Catholic. He is way more prepared for the world than his public school friends. He will be going to College in the fall. This school made it possible.

Is CCC a great school? Consider the alternative. I am not afraid to send my child to this school. My only other choice would be Cleveland Public Schools and I would NEVER send my child to a public school in Cleveland. CCC keeps my son interested and out of trouble with a great sports program. He has very caring teachers who always contact me when I need them to. I can't complain about this school. If you live in Cleveland, give it a try. There may be financial aid available to you.

I am a student at Cleveland Central Catholic High School. I feel very intimidated by other classmates and are sometimes afraid to go to my school in the morning. I feel parents, teachers, and other students should take into serious consideration of what i am saying.

I have a child at CCC. In my opinion, CCC is not worth the money that us parents put in. It is said to be a diverse school, but my child is proof that it is NOT living up to what it says. My child is singled out and picked on because he is caucasion. Somebody needs to step in to fix this problem.

Central is a very diverse school. I have to say that this is my son's 3rd year there and overall I'm very satisfied. I'm a single mom and it's hard for me to pay tuition on time sometimes and they are very patient and understanding.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
