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.

Centauri is a very unique school. One thing I like about Centauri is that we are not just a school, we are a family. The community of Centauri is very special. My experience at Centauri has been amazing. I am glad I am a falcon. I wouldn't change much about Centauri. It is a very good school that has changed my life so much.

Great teachers and education. It has smaller class sizes to get a personalized education. Sports programs are competitive and inclusive.

Centauri High School is a very run down and old school. Throughout my experiences there, I have seen rats and spiders literally fall out of the ceiling. Centauri needs to invest in a newer school. They also need to up keep the supplies held in the school. Many desks fall apart easily and have to be taken to the welding shop to be fixed.

Centauri is a great high school and does more with less than any high school around. Look at the scores it receives despite having the demographics it has. Proof is in the data. Principal is awesome.
