Good school. Too focused on AP and not enough towards real student issues in a changing economy - I would have liked more guidance on possible career paths instead of just being pushed to take IB classes.

I have enjoyed my time here at Centaurus, this being my 4th year I've never had any significantly horrible experiences. Everyone is nice and majority of the teachers are very supportive. I do think however they could be more helpful in getting ready for college.

I feel as if the counselors were amazing and supportive they helped me graduate early. I was a new student I had a month and a half left of my junior year when I came and they helped me keep on track to graduate early.

If you are considering sending your kid to this school, I suggest first meeting with the Principal and AD and then going to other schools and...
