Centennial has been a tremendous disappointment this year. The teachers are either very good or are quite the opposite. This year's team of teachers for our child has been extremely difficult to communicate with and have demonstrated no commitment to the success of the students. We do not recommend

I have to say that Centennial campus does not get a high rating as a school community in my book. My son went there as a 6th grader, and we left after one year.

Communication is by e-mail and phone only -- and since teachers respond or don't at their choosing -- our family found this and ineffective way to partner with teachers. The philosophy seems to be, 'Your child is in middle school. thanks for bringing him; we'll take it from here.'

I am a teacher with 11 years experience in various states and in Wake County. I began mid-year and must say that this is the BEST school that I have taught in. I teach 8th grade and the technology is impressive. There are mounted projectors and a laptop cart for each classroom. I able to integrate

I enjoy being here and have no complaints. We collaborate with NC State and bring in college students and instructors to facilitate learning. This is a model magnet school and quite impressive. I recommend all parents come and see what it has to offer. I hope to continue teaching here next year and would love for my son to be able to attend Centennial in two years. Read less

I think ccms does not do a good job with technology there is not a networked printer in each room. Most of the teacher are nice. They do not have very good technology classes. They say a hard drive stores 80 gigabits that is not true. Solid works is not taught the way I would like to learn it (I
