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 have made great memories growing up in this high school. There is always amazing opportunities for different types of events being handed out to all students at this school. It's a great environment for all students to grow and build their character. It is my pleasure to say that this high school played an integral part in my growth and character and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Honestly, the best thing about my school is that my skin color doesn't stick out. I don't sit in class and think I'm the only student of color. I might be the only African American in my class but never the only one with a brown pigment. It's a very comforting and rare feeling for me but I hope to one day teach in a school with similar variety in ethnicities.

Centennial High school was a grreat experience for me. It has mostly anything that I need. The classes are up to date and have nice upgrade. Sport are the most amazing part because the school invest a good amount of money to replace the tennis court and football field.

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...
