8/27/2025
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.
7/24/2024
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.

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...

Centaurus is a diverse high school, smaller than the other high schools in Boulder County. They offer classes from academic support to advanced curricula. They offer an engineering focus if desired. My child came from a small, private school and was concerned about making friends. He has made friend...
