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.

I graduated from Century High in the year 2018. This school lacks caring and understandment when it comes to children's needs. The academic standard is very low. Many teachers have low expectations for their students. Many students in the Santa Ana Unified School District come from poverty and immigrant parents. Students need much more than the passing standard academic level. They need to be pushed and helped to reach for much more than the minimum passing grade. They need to be stimulated and challenged. When I graduated from Century High School I did not even know basic Algebra nor did I know how to properly write an essay. I worked diligently to catch up to others in the same age as me and I am now transferring to UCI. This school fails its students. I do not recommend putting your child in this high school.
