Incorporation of Central did nothing to improve city services to central. It's also one of the least transparent governments around. Crooked land deals and privatization contracts embroiled the city at one point but eventually people just accepted it. Central hasn't actually raised taxes (for city services) but I expect one is coming once they try to get their own city hall and improvements to city streets. I also think they'll push for their own police force tax at some point. On top of that their schools are over crowded. Lots of "temporary" trailers.

Did their services get worse? I don't know but
they got their school district.

Incorporation was unnecessary. The school district was going to get OK 'd once they started using natural boundaries that included some parts they didn't originally want.

Interestingly enough, the school district pops out of the city limits and encompasses homes owned by the Watts. The same family that the appointed mayor Watts and the Mrs Watts-Browning is in. The Watts-Browning lady appointed to the school board is married into the Browning family which includes the central police chief and one of the main organizers of St George.

It's all kind of interesting, really and it's kinda cool that people in Central will run the show in St George (behind the curtain).
