The special education program needs more support and funding. I feel that they are overworked, short staffed, and is in need of para educators.

It is not a good feeling to know your child is in a program to get them up to speed when the support isn't there, the level of support isn't adequate, and kids are paying the price. I really don't know where to put ratings on the school & teachers because there are so many holes that need to be filled before making a complete judgement of the school.

This isn't school specific necessarily but a common and hugely neglected aspect of education.

The principal at Centennial truly cares about each student and has a clear path for their future and their success. The teachers invest their personal time to be available for students whether doing one on one Tudoring or coaching sports to being at the extra curricular events such a family night at the pizza place. I have noticed the school has become more of a family community. My child has continually exceeded expectations as a result of the teachers pushing him to do his best.

The test score speak for themselves! Our students are succeeding as a result of our teachers!!! Centennial has received state wide awards for their educational improvements. The only one in the district this year for school of distinction.

The teacher is. It the only one responsible for teaching our students. Parents should be equally responsible for teaching their own children. Homework allows the additional support and guidance.

The school has character each month and every morning during announcements the character is stated and the meaning with examples. Monthly students are chosen for character awards and are recognized for developing and living by example how to be honest, trustworthy, kind etc.
