We love Centertown! My oldest son has been going there since he was in Kindergarten(5 years ago) & now my youngest son will be starting his first year in Kindergarten next fall. Ms. Turner, teachers, & staff are all great....so friendly & helpful when needed.They truly do care about the kids & having them be 'the best they can be'. I could not ask for a better school for my guys to go to! :-)

This is our first year in a Warren County school and I could not have picked a better school. My son's teacher is tough as nails but it's the first time he has been challenged: it's taken some adjustment but we are doing well now. I feel very confident that he will be very prepared for 5th grade next year and beyond, all thanks to his teacher this year. The After-School program is wonderful, the school is clean, and the faculty and personnel are friendly and helpful.
