Kids just do as they please. Anything but learn. Teachers rather let the kids roam the hallways all day then actually teach. Admin doesn’t do anything to enforce discipline to both kids and teachers. It is a whole mess. If you want your kid to get a quality education, send them elsewhere.

LOVE THIS SCHOOL!! I can’t say enough good things about Colina. Everyone is so welcoming. The administrators are SO positive, caring, and support their students and staff with the utmost respect. The teachers are positive and work with so well with all different abilities- it’s very impressive to watch (I volunteer in the classrooms).Colina has so many things to offer the students during and after school. Every quarter they have new fun classes kids can take after school- chess, soccer, piano, drawing, robotics and so much more. My girls absolutely love the pep assemblies where kids get recognized for doing great things at school and being a role model. There are festivals, dances, fundraisers, BINGO nights, other fun events and family dinner nights.When my girls are at school I know they are safe, they are being treated with respect, and they are building incredible relationships with not only their peers, but their teachers as well. My daughters’ teachers take the time to listen and connect with them. Every teacher that I’ve seen looks like they want to be there working for the kids.Colina has PE, art, music, and library classes as well as a technology class where my girls are learning coding and how to make presentations.We toured a few schools in and out of Kyrene district. Colina blew every other school out of the water. For us, choosing Colina was a very easy decision after seeing other options. I was in special education for 17 years and feel like I kinda know what to look for in a school. Colina has a lot of great things to offer and I’m SO happy our girls go there! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Both of my sons go to Centennial and it has been a great experience. Prior to going there, I had heard so much gossip about how terrible Centennial is. We decided to try it. I'm glad we did. My sons are doing great. They are in GATE classes and thriving. They love their teachers. I find the teachers really care about the students, taking time to build relationships. There are a lot of fun assignments, like making cardboard arcade games in STEM- there is a day where they take the games next door to the elementary school and let the kids play them. There are a lot of fun clubs and extracurricular activities. I have heard there were issues in the past, but I think the staff has worked hard to eradicate these issues and improve the school environment. We have only had one minor issue there and it was handled quickly and appropriately. I filled out the question about special education because I was required to to post my review, but I don't have children who receive those services, so I can't say for sure. Centennial is a great place to be!
