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.
2/3/2023
I love Centaurus' Engineering program and the large selection of extracurricular activities and electives. They have great advanced classes and good teachers. There are a lot of students so it's sometimes hard to get to know people
1/17/2023
I love all the supportive teacher and amazing friends I got to make along the way. I loved how I was always encouraged to do more and know that I was capable of getting things done.

The school has a good engineering program, IB and AP classes, and most of the teachers are pretty good, however, the administrators at this school are awful. If you have a 504, IEP, or any medical condition, the admin team will fight you on everything. They do not care about your wellbeing in the sl...

My child came from a small, private school and was concerned about making friends. He has made friend...
