great school these teachers know what they are talking about These teachers are really smart!!!


Posted August 27, 2004

Centennial School is a good public school with a positive learning environment for the students. The principle is an experienced principle who is new to our school, and is quite involved with the students. He pushed them to a reading goal, and said he would try to break the world record for pushing an orange on the floor with his nose! He didn't break the world record, but he had a bruised nose the next day. I went to Centennial Elementary when I was little, and am put at ease having my kids go there. The teachers do their best to make learning fun! Band, and chorus are offered, as well as community sports. PTA is great at Centennial, too! Good experiences all around.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Idaho used the Idaho Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading, math and language usage, and in grades 5, 7 and 10 in science. The scores from the spring administration are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The grade 10 ISAT is a high school graduation requirement. The ISAT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering the specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Idaho. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
