GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

Century High School was my first overall experience of high school in the United States. After moving from Dubai, attending Century was a big change for me and there were a lot of pros and cons. I would summarize my freshman year at Century as interesting and very enjoyable.

Century Senior High School has plenty of opportunities to learn. However student administrator communication is often difficult. There are many great teachers. The school is overall clean but the students sometimes "trash" some places. There are advanced classes but computer related classes are often at a lower non-honors level.

I had great teachers and really enjoy the students and found them welcoming. My calculus teacher was also excellent.

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!!!
