it’s horrible. teachers are incentive and they pick on the kids or they side with certain students. They don’t try to help the kids be successful. they aren’t doing enough to stop kids bullying and picking and talking about people. You have to try to fit in or people won’t like , accept, or consider to be your friend or be nice to you. P It’s a miserable school environment. A kid came up to me when I was opening my locker and they were saying some stuff like why A were you talking bad about me and getting all up in my face and I didn’t even know who this person was.i never even talked to them C and now I’m wondering where are all the teachers when this happens to people and when you try to tell the counselor or the O principal they just tell you to ignore it or they ask you how you feel and they say ok your good to go then they send you back to class . villa . it hurts and I’ve gotten depressed from this school don’t ever let your kids to go here if you don’t want them to be hurt , miserable, stressed out by this out of sorts school

My son is in 6th grade here. All poor reviews are outdated and don’t reflect the new leadership. It’s a great school…kids seem happy…wish they had a better sports program.

Unfortunately this school is horrible for students who are not rich and white. The racism is palpable but also subtle. This school creates greater inequity and mental health issue for students who went in with none. Stay away.

It's amazing! 10 out of 10! Everyone who says it's terrible, they're dead wrong, they haven't even had a full experience of this school. I haven't and will never regret going here.

This school has definitely been my favorite out of all the ones I've been to. Most of the teachers are great, and they really help you with academic support! One thing our school is very good at is arts! Centennial has the best orchestra in the state of Colorado!!

I really did not like this school. I came for the sixth grade and it was the worst school year I ever had. The students are very cliqy and also really snobby and mean. They always stay in their little groups never acknowledging anyone else. And u have to look a certain way to fit in. The teachers always pin the students against eachother , making it a difficult learning environment. don't go here if u have any differences . U will just completely disregarded or humiliated by the students

I am in 8th grade this year and I really like it. Some of the teachers are AMAZING and some are ok but I really love this school and have enjoyed going here for the past 3 years and yes there are some problems but over all in he area this is one of the best school and is just a great school. the teachers are really help full and supportive.

Horrible principal. (Rigid, uninformed). Staff seems afraid of this principal. (Staff will say something to you one-on-one but will not speak in front of her.) Bullying and complete division between spanish speakers and english speakers. (Girls on soccor team don't even acknowlege one another.) School is 100% out of compliance with Colorado State Law regarding TAG students. (No student has the mandated ALP.) Good school for bright or average, conforming, linear students. DO NOT send a student with any differences here. They will be treated like a psychiatric patient.

This school Is not fun. I am an eighth grader and My experience of all 3 years has been awful. It's cliquy and the school is a DUMP. Please, If your child is in 5th grade and she/he wants to go here, discourage them.

On 12/9/11 my son's basketball teammates were bullied by the Centennial team after their game on Angevines way to their waiting bus. The Angevine team was called derogatory names by the Centennial team who instigated a fight. Incredibly bad sportsmanship by Centennial and a poor reflection on Centennial school.
