This School’s Reviews
Niche Reviews
7/3/2025
I moved to Iowa a year ago, and this school was the best school I have ever attended. I met a lot of wonderful teachers and students, and I became interested in academics. This school exposed me to activities such as speech, student council, and MVP. Although the school has great faculty, academics, and activities, it lacks diversity. I would like to see more diversity and stricter rules in school.
4/23/2025
As a student at Ankeny Centennial, I am grateful for the variety of classes available which were created to help students prepare for their future. We also have many other opportunities for students outside of academics including sports and clubs.
2/17/2025
I would say that Centennial's teachers are what make the school decent to come to. As the years went on, I felt like I was able to relate to the teachers a lot more and build a good support system. However, the overall attitudes of the students and their work habits make it hard to be more enjoyable. I wish that there was more of a sense of community instead of a triangle structure, where the most popular are favored and get into the spotlight.
