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.

My school is pretty boring in the ways that they do things, nothing seems special and we are pretty average at most sports and academics compared to other schools within out conference.

Centennial is a medium sized school with a lot of opportunities for students to learn in different areas. They have art classes, machine shops, wood working classes, and more. They have a lot of different food options.

The best experience I have had at Centennial High School is culture fair. Our school finally brought in a yearly fair where people show their culture. One of the worst parts about this school is seeing my friends get harassed with Islamaphobic remarks as Muslim students.

Seeing these reviews I think it's time for an update. Centennial School reputation is all smoke and mirrors. Yes they have high standardized test scores. Simply because their good teachers have figured out how to best teach to the test. Now reality is that the district administration has reduced pro...
