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.

Centennial is actually a pretty good school. People make it sound worse than it actually is. The staff is very nice and the whole vibe of the school is great. There are a lot of classes that can also help you grow as a student.
