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.

I am in my second year as a student at Century High School. This year, I joined our Student Government because I love my school but, also see ways it could improve. The best parts of century are how safe and respected I feel. The downside of century is how low the school spirt feels among the student body.

The only good thing about this high school is its sports, everything else is bad. This school is the least diverse school that I have ever seen, most of everyone here has rich white doctor parents. The students and teachers in my experience don't care about anyone else in this school besides themselves.

Century offers many opportunities. Classroom instruction is supplemented with a fair amount of online ressources, making it easy to make up classes that we have to skip because of sports and or other school activities. Century has good school spirit and it was so exiting when our Hockey team made it to the state final. We even got time off for classes for attending (It did help that we didn't have to use our snow days allotment this year).

This high school and other schools in the RPS school district are genuinely talking about sending kids back into school in the middle of a pandemic. They are speaking of cases trending down and that means it's okay to open the schools up again. Opening things back up will make them worse. To any par...

Absolutely terrible administration. Soccer is terrible too. If you are a white student the school will be okay for you. If you are a kid of color, look out! Watch your back. Hope you don't have an IEP or 504 plan because the teachers will not follow it. We had a TERRIBLE experience!!!
