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 think the highlight of Centreville High School is its wonderful teachers and staff, followed by its diversity. Some areas, such as the music department, seem underfunded compared to the sports sector. Wider/additional hallways would also be nice when the school gets its next renovation.

The diversity and general school atmosphere are important to my school. While the teachers don't seem to care about you from time to time, a handful of them are genuinely nice people.

This school is okay for the most part. However, I feel as if they don't care for their students as much as they say. My stepdaughter went here for 2 years before switching schools because of the kids being mean. She said students often glorify being mean and rude to others and even push them to do t...

School is okay, all the teachers are fine except for the history and science teachers. There is only ONE history teacher that really cares and the rest are all bad. They put a disrespectful amount of pressure and workload on students causing them to be stressed 24/7. There are absolutely no good bio...
