Centennial High School

After seven years of having my children at this school, I can honestly say it has been a terrible experience. My children have faced repeated mistreatment from teachers, and despite reporting these issues many times to the principal and school board, nothing has ever been done. There is zero accountability.The administration sets a poor example, often appearing unprofessional and dismissive of parent concerns. Instead of protecting students, the school seems more focused on protecting its own image and sweeping problems under the rug.Parents, please be cautious before sending your children here. This school talks about “core values,” but in reality, it fails to provide a safe, respectful, and professional environment for students.

My nephew has been attending this school for the past two years, and during that time, he has experienced ongoing issues with bullying from other students. Unfortunately, there have also been concerns regarding the behavior of a particular teacher. This teacher often engages in arguments with students rather than setting an example as an adult, educator, and role model. Additionally, she has failed to address the bullying or take appropriate action when incidents occur, and there appears to be a clear bias in her treatment of students.It is also concerning that the administration, including the principal, has not taken effective steps to resolve these issues. This pattern of inaction and lack of accountability has created an unhealthy and unsafe environment for students.It is crucial that changes are made. The ongoing bullying by both students and, at times, staff needs to be addressed with urgency and seriousness. Every child deserves to feel safe and supported at school.

School nurse is great & very informative and resourceful...very helpful I appreciate the Lunch ladies also. They are great!

Our experience has been poor. We are looking into moving out of the area.

This school has a lot of negatives but the primary issue with this school is they do not want parents around and it is generally unsafe for children. This school is very unfriendly to parents and frequently yell at parents and are rude and unkind, They have a huge sign in the lobby that says no parents beyond this point but really they mean no parents are welcome at this school. When my child was in kinder and struggled to walk to class on her own the office worker would run up to me and tell me I could not walk her a few feet to her classroom as she was crying. Then this year I picked her up early they had me show my id and put it in a machine to verify my identify, which is great for safety, my daughter never came she walked right out the side door of the school and wandered the parking lot looking for me. If parents are not allowed to help there children then someone better be helping them. This school just cannot be trusted. There is no transparency between teachers and parents, no communication, and the staff does not communicate between each other. yesterday I was taking my daughter to the bookfair as I was chased down by someone office worker yelling "MAM; MAM MAM EXCUSE ME"-- scaring my daughter, I explained I was going to the bookfair she said "DIDN'T. YOU SEE THE BIG YELLOW SIGN THAT SAYS NO PARENTS!!" screaming at me in front of my child. I let her know I would verify this with the librarian and she said YOU BETTER. There is really no reason for screaming when she could just as easily walked up to me and talked to me like a human being. As I arrived to the bookfair parents and children were there and many more parents arrived. Unnecessarily rude treatment by staff to parents. This school does not want parents around and feels they are an unnecessary part of their children education, it is also sad when school personal treat other so rudely but try to teach children values of kindness and good character-- it just does not line up.

Both of my children have attended College Heights, and love it! It's a very caring and personal environment, but children are expected to live up to behavior and scholastic expectations. Excellent preparation in reading and scholarship.
