Centennial is an excellent high school that provides students with a superb education and college preparation. My son just graduated from Centennial and I have been extremely impressed by the rigorous curriculum and college-preparatory programs. Even the brightest and high-achieving students will be challenged.
A safe suburban school in a republican town. Student expression not exactly suppressed but not really encourage. AP math instruction adequate, but nothing here for the truly gifted student. No coaching for the AMS competitive exam. AP Physics excellent. AP Chemistry good. AP Comp Sci poor; no coacihing for UIL CS competition. AP English spotty; Mr. Payne is outstanding; the rest are poor to fair. AP French prep not quite up to it. School resource officer freely handing out misdemeanor citations for minor infractions of deportment. Food service is poor.
Centennial is a wonderful school. So far my son has been taken care of very well. His teachers are very attentive and communicate well. They keep the kids safe and are very watchful. I love that they are very kind and do more to accommodate the ADHD kids.
You may see these posts about how the school is great, which is true in the sense of education, but as for the students they seem to like to spend there weekends at parties while some rich kids parents are out of town. To me this is school is filled with higher class kids which means more money for harder drugs. I've attended this school for three whole years and am working on my fourth and final. As for the allegations of an underfunded theater program, that is true BUT its also true for mechanics and art from what i know. The only budget that doesn't seem to have a cap on it are the computer programs. I know the broadcasting and photo journalism classes have mac computers along with all the best software. I would recommend this school to everyone who wants there children to go to college and as a student and a parent i would want my son to go here as well, although i would watch out, this school isn't perfect.
