Overall I love Century Elementary! My kids love going to the school. However, over the last few years it seems all the extra activities have disappeared. They used to participate in the annual egg drop, pumpkin walk, running in the halls (a treat for students who read!), Grandparents days, Parents and Pastries, and there is a lot more. The principal is...well...detached. He seems to not follow through with things and likes to deny any request before hearing anything out. They used to send home weekly folders, put together by parent volunteers, as well as a monthly newsletter (which have both disappeared as well). The parent volunteers have decreased over the years, it seems lack of communication is part of that? Not sure what is happening, but hopefully the school can get back to where it was 7-8 years ago.

I like the school's anti-bulling policy. Bullying is still attempted by the students at times, but the staff nip it in the bud which creates an overall safe learning environment.

My sweet children have only been attending since 2008, but I have been extremely pleased with the presiding principals. They care about the kids currently attending and all the ones to come. My kids adore them! They teachers rock!!! I have had children in all the grade levels and you can't go wrong. My children have enjoyed learning and will carry what they have learned so well here to the intermediate school, middle school, and high school and will be better students for it. I LOVE IT, AND SO DO MY KIDS!

Our kids have loved going to Century, and we have really liked most of the teachers. The staff is friendly and helpful, and we've had a really good experience.
