GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I've always known that I would go to Centennial after graduating from middle school. I have heard a few negative things about it so it worried me but I still went. I think Centennial has helped me learn more about myself and my learning process. The academic challenges I faced due to the rigorous courses I took trained my mind and my process of thinking that i feel that I'm ready to take on the next level, college.

I would say the best parts are the teachers because they love and care about you. The worst part was nothing. All love and care and great education. But I would love to see how they add some more creativity inside the school for students to enjoy.

I liked that Centennial High School was diverse. There were so many people with different backgrounds. There were many classes, specifically AP's classes, that they offered. I appreciate that Centennial also had many sports teams and there was a lot of school spirit when it came to sports. I am glad to have gone to a high school like Centennial.

The teachers are wonderful but the leadership is lacking. Walk down the halls of this school and the students are cussing, rude and disrespectful. Discipline is nonexistent.

The school does not have a good emphasis on academic achevement. There seems to be more focus on sports than pushing kids to achieve more academically. Relative to where my kids started their schooling in New Jersey, Centennial High School did not have a comparable academic programme.
