Centerra Mirage school is not one of the best schools around the Goodyear area but I will have to give credit to some teachers and staff. The Principal is not one of the 6th 7th or 8th graders best friend. Sure you say your here for learning ... blah blah blah! Well I have a small issue with that. Teachers?
... Read more Does anyone sit in to acutally here or observe what the teachers are teaching in the class? Some teachers can just sit there and watch us students just sit and do nothing. They do not say a word they basically just sit there. I have been attending Centerra for one and a half years and the way the teachers treat us is absolutly infuriating! Yelling in a students face for coming a minute late from using the bathroom? Come on now! (7-8th grade has two to three minutes to go) Read less

I think Centerra Mirage is doing a fairly good job. The principle and assitant principle are open to ideas and the lines of communication are open with the parents. One of my favorite teachers is Mrs.Grose and I am thrilled she is moving up to the 7th grade to stay with her students from last year!

I am very disappointed in the school and district as a whole. The ill-experienced administration and office staff unfortunately provides an unorganized atmosphere and lack of communication for students, parents, and teachers. Negative attitudes are apparent throughout the staff, including the administration,

I have two sons that attend, and they love going to school everyday. The teachers are wonderful, as long as you know which ones to request for your child. Miss. Moll in Kinder, Ms. Nunez in 1st, and Mrs. Crowe in 2nd, have all been a blessing.

The post about the PTSA below is actually humorous! I joined the PTSA and attempted to get involved. To my dismay, parents were notified about meetings 2-3 days in advance, mtgs. were held in the late afternoon when most people are working, mtgs. were filled w/ inside jokes and constant references to

Centerra staff is great - especially the principal and asst principal. Parental involvement is poor leaving the handful of PTSA volunteers to do all events alone. They'll complain about things but do nothing to help out or to improve them. District does a poor job of providing extra-curricular activities

This school is not that great when it comes to extracurricular activities. The principal needs to have the students to do more sport activities and more fun things like basketball, baseball, flag football, chess club etc.
