I went to Centerville Schools from kindergarten all the way through graduation and after a year of college, I can confidently say that I was beyond prepared for life after graduation. Centerville not only established my firm foundation of academics, but also life skills such as building relationships and a desire to give back to the community. I currently go to a top university, and I feel that my experiences at Centerville thoroughly prepares me for my new life. Not only does Centerville offer a wide expansion of classes, but the fact that every student has the opportunity to get involved with any desired extracurricular activity creates such a diverse and nurturing environment.Although I went through many difficult classes and complained quite a bit while I was a student at Centerville, I can wholeheartedly say that everything was worth it. The environment that is created at the school is truly designed for ultimate growth, both as. student and as a person.

I’m pretty sure the principal doesn’t like her job or children. My child’s teacher is great. No complaints there. I hear there’s a nature program but I’ve seen/heard nothing about it from my child. It feels like they push state testing too hard. Not a lot of parents show up to the PTO meetings.

This is the crappiest school principal should tale classes to be a better principal

We have a 1st grader, and so far the online classes have been kindergarten content, but I'm willing to give that a pass since I can imagine its hard to teach to a group of young kids over the internet. It was a little disheartening that the teachers didn't let the students have time to talk to each other in the mornings though. Anyway, first day of in-person schooling is resuming since covid started, and the bus that was supposed to pick us up was at the wrong location, so we started to move toward it (we were approaching from the front of the bus, so the driver had to have seen us) and then the driver just pulls away after having not waited more than 30 seconds. I was completely blown away by this! Anyway, I call the office about 10 mins later to make sure I had the right information on where the pick up location, and they were a bit rude. They referred me to the transportation division (can't recall the exact name) so I called them. The lady there was very rude. One part of me gets it- first day of going back to school, I can imagine theyre pretty busy and I'd hate to bother them with this right now, but this also really sets me back because now I have to make an unplanned trip to take the little one in for what was no fault of my own, and I was hoping the bus driver could return or something because I have to get to work on time myself. So far, haven't loved this district. Unless I see major improvements with the in-person classes, will most likely be looking into private schooling, or something else, next year
