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.

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 have had a decent experience, I wouldn't say it stands out from other high schools though. My mom and brother both went here so it's kinda cool just to be connected to them a little bit but it's still just a decent school. I was in student council but it was very exclusive and I felt super left out so I decided to leave, though it was hard cause I loved being apart of it still was for the better. Most of the are super nice but the security guards can be really rude.

Centennial is an alright school. The administration and how they spend the bond money and such is not done well. They spend way too much money on our football team that does not even win anything. While neglecting the science and arts. The band and theatre departments do very well despite the lack in funding. While science classes do not have the money so that we can do field trips or labs.

I was not entirely discouraged with my time here, but I was not impressed either. The students are initially friendly, but once class starts, a large handful can be very disrespectful to staff members, and there are obvious cases of drama that are often not dealt with properly. Unless there is a fig...
