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.

Overall my experience was pretty good, the reason for that was the diversity of the school and the many groups, clubs, & people. The problem with centennial is the facilities there were some parts of the school that needed to be fixed, but never were. The bathrooms are not even worth going in to, & lastly the administration that had put some really horrible rules that made no sense, what I've heard of recently after I've graduated even sounds worst.

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...
