From the moment, my child started kindergarten the front office. Staff has displayed a tremendous amount of incompetency.
This is my childs third year here and I still have to deal with providing the front office with multiple copies of doctors note shot records, etc.. Its getting pretty old.
We will get a good teacher and then a few months and the teacher will transfer to a different school. Not very consistent not very professional.

My middle two are in this school now jad my oldest two graduate into high school one the year before last and the 2nd one this year my son will be in jr high next year and my youngest two will start to go here to this school. I got no prob with school or majority staff members what I gotba prob with is that they dont take into concideration the parents wishes or federal rights on who you allow or not allow to talk or interact with your children.

I'm natural on this matter because they give out a pamphlet on Mondays to be turned in on feidqys, and as long as at least 3 of the pages are complete weather there right or wrong dont really se3m to matter to them I guess cause as long ad it gets turned in that get good marks

The teachers and staff at this school hold themselves accountable for learning and work together to live their school mission. Teachers regularly attend development opportunities and trainings to make them better teachers. This school is a very wonderful school.

We live in D11 and are choicing our kindergarten daughter into Centennial Elementary based on their high academic expectations and caring supporting staff. Kindergarten is the new first grade and I know that our daughter will receive the best foundation for her future schooling. Highly recommend!

My two boys have both gone to Centennial. My older son went from Kindergarten through 5th grade and my other son is starting his educational journey. I love the school. The teachers are phenomenal. They show a real dedication to teaching and truly care about the students. They communicated with me whenever their was an issue. The structure and the high expectations have benefited my older son tremendously. He was prepared for middle school beyond my own expectations. He has learned to hold himself to a higher standard.

Terrible school. Whatever you do do not send your children. Employees are rude and judgemental. They do not respect a parents decisions for thier children. There is a culture of bullying that not the children but the STAFF subscribe to. The Personel will use legal means to harras or otherwise try to force you into doing as they say. If you try to find resolution on matters they will often pass the buck and tell you it's not thier job.

My son started Kindergarten here at Centennial and I will never have him enrolled in a district 2 school again. Not only is the staff rude and judgmental but they do not inform parents of hardly anything. They make no effort to let you know if your child is struggling in any subject until midway through the year.
