My experience at this school was very scary at first. I learned to compensate for resources I had around me with peers and awesome teachers to help me navigate the school through the years. The staffing is awesome. Everyone is connected and helps each-other out. I would get better coaches or teachers for this school. Over the years so many improvements have been made with my character due to growing with great people around me.

Centennial has a welcoming student body but I would say it's not that diverse, it's mainly upper class white kids which can be discouraging as a minority. The teachers do their best with the recourses they are given and even though some of the material may not seem to level they always teach it the best that they can.

I liked our facilities, although I do wish the campus felt less prison-like and more upbeat and spirited. I felt as though our clubs and sports programs were good, though in many cases lacked funding and administrative support. Overall a positive experience, made possible due to supportive teachers.

I give this school the worst possible rating. If you pick your child up, you won't leave for a few hours because of the traffic.
