My experience with Century High School has been excellent. The best parts about Century are the students and staff members. Everyone has a kind and welcoming heart. The teachers are there for you whenever you need them and have all the resources to help you. I also love the AP classes that we have available in order to get college credits for the future. Everyone in this school is so inclusive and the energy is so unbelievably positive. There really hasn't been a worst part of Century High School for me. I have loved my whole high school career at Century and have nothing but the best to say about it.

The best part of my high school experience so far would be the academic achievements, and college readiness some teachers provide. The worst would be some of the ideals and actions of specific teachers, and i would like to see a change in character and actions in some teachers.

Not only is this outrageous but it’s illegal. Do...

Great teachers, horrible kids. I have attended two schools and the kids here are by far the worst. They are very snobby, loud, obnoxious, self-entitled, narcissistic, rich-kids. My friends and I couldn't stand the majority of these kids and couldn't wait to meet real people in life who didn't brag a...
