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.

Watts is a Great school. It has helped me a lot and all of you shouldn't be saying mean things about the school bc everyone Is nice to each other and the staff is trying their best, yes the lunch ladies can be a little mean but still, it is hard to control a big school in a tiny lunch room. But still, it is a really great experience to be a former student at Watts for my last year at this middle school. I suggest this school for parents who want their kids to be happy. For any kid who wants to be happy come to this school. From a current student at Hadley E. Watts Middle School

Normandy Elementary has been an amazing experience for my son. He moved from a small private school and I was worried about the transition to a larger public school with more students in the classroom. Not only did the teachers and principal calm my fears, they gave my son the extra attention and reassurance he needed. He's going into his last year at Normandy now and we couldn't be happier with his time there. The principal is wonderful and really emphasizes kindness and caring for others. The no bullying policy is real and enforced. My son is accelerated in math and the school has worked with us to make sure he is not bored and gets the curriculum he needs. I couldn't recommend Normandy any more. We love it!

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
