I am a student that gets good grades, I go everyday and I wouldn't even be in school if it weren't for Centennial Learning Center. This place is a second family, they are helpful and always understanding.

My child is in the Options program at CLC. It is a superb program for students who are mature enough to organize their own schedule and who really want to learn. It is a combination of one-on-one classes with an instructor and students are encouraged to take classes at a local community college. The child has a say in how and what they learn. The staff is committed and cares about the success of the student. Absolutely exceptional program!

Since my two girls started CLC, I have been very impressed with everyone there. They create a very homey and caring environment. The school is small, therefore they are better able to keep track of everyones whereabouts, and are aware of everyones special needs. They keep in close contact with home about progress, success, and concerns, and they give the students who struggle a chance to get extra help, and therefore more success gives the kids more self esteem, also the kids seem to be much closer to each other and much more respectful!

This school is very poorly administered and it is not quiet when entering. There is little or no real money spent to have art or music available.

About the tests


In 2009-2010 Oregon used the Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (OAKS) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading and math; in grades 4, 7 and 10 in writing; and in grades 5, 8 and 10 in science. The OAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Oregon. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
