Reviews of Centennial High School (Kindergarten)

Terri Ewbank

We just moved to Vegas and my daughter is a new student here. The teachers seem very passionate about teaching and you can feel that the staff really go the extra mile for the students. From what we hear, this school has improved tremendously over the years. The administration office is very helpful and meeting the staff at open house was great! The school seems over populated, but administration says they're doing what they can to hire qualified teachers and break up the classes evenly. (NEW REVIEW AS OF 5/3/17)--My daughter hasn't had a great experience so far. She claims the other students are "cliquey" and fights occur almost everyday. When I moved here I heard this was a great school, and so far it seems--because the school has such a diversity of kids coming from other districts--there is a large amount of gang members, drugs, racial discrimination and disrespect. Students throwing metal chairs at teachers, fights on school grounds, and kids doing drugs on campus. I've personally seen videos of this happening at Centennial. Unfortunately, I don't think my daughter will be going here next year. It's just not a safe environment for my daughter and for other students who are there to learn. She's struggling to find peers here that are like her, which is focused on success and genuinely a good person. It's sad that these kids aren't taught and encouraged to respect others (especially their teachers) at home. I'm not sure what's happening and how these gang members or kids from afar are able to get into this school, but it's not fair to the other students who are there to learn. Something must be done to regulate this. My heart hurts for the kids and the teachers who have to put up with these thugs. My daughter is NOT happy here at all.

I've only had to contact this school about 2 different issues and both times I have had the WORST EXPERIENCE!! The first time was about my son's cell phone being stolen. My issue was we knew who did it and I called the day it happened but instead of doing something about it that day they let the 4 day weekend pass before speaking to the child. It wasn't a priority because it was just a cell phone. My son suffers from more then one health issues and that is the reason for the phone. Nothing was ever done and I was told after calling only twice not to call again because there was nothing they could do about it and to ask my son to stop going into the office and asking about it. The second time was about a school issue I need some help with.. I called the deans office and had to speak to the most Inconsiderate woman. I was told every time I called that it was the wrong time and someone would call me back. When i tried to explain that I worked 2 jobs 6 days a week and that this was the only time I could call. I was rudely interrupted and basically made to feel like I was bothering this woman. Now this is HER JOB!!!! I deal with the public everyday yet if I treated people like this I wouldn't have a job! What makes her so different?? What really bothers me is this woman speaks to our children everyday.. How is she treating them?? Is she as rude to our kids as she is to a parent? She is basically just a bully! I will have both of my kids going here next year I feel bad for both

Recently visited the school for open house and it was great. The only problem was when you had the Honor Guard present the colors. If you are going to include this, maybe you should know the proper etiquette. Remain standing until the colors are gone. Your military students remained at attention and showed the proper respect. Your staff on the other hand, quickly sat down while the honor guard marched off the floor. I didn't expect the general public to know what to do, but I would expect your staff would be briefed.

I had to do summer school, and my counselor told me that if I paid for one course that there was a program that would pay for my second one. They never paid, so I was left credit deficient, and when I went to ask for help fixing it nobody seemed to know what program the counselor was talking about. Now I'm left missing a credit and trying to figure out how to fix it.

Worst school ever! They don’t care if your child is bullied by staff or students. The ROTC is a joke run by a horrible woman that is a huge bully and no one cares!

During the last quarter of my junior year I moved from one of the best schools in Colorado to this disgrace of a school. I am a senior currently and it did not take me attending this school any more than 3 months to realize that my education was not being cared for. Please do not waste your time and toss your education at this facility which resembles a prison to me more than a school... What sadens me the most is the way in which teachers and staff present themselves at school. Most if not all teachers look as if they do not wish to be there. Most of them spend valuable time in which students should be learning, to talk about their personal lives. A recent experience I had in the deans office is partially what lead me to write this review. The amount of racisms, sexism, and lack of leadership I witnessed during my short time in there, made me furious, so much that I teared up as soon as I stepped out of there. I am not writing this review out of anger but out of sadness that young adults cannot trust that we are in an educational environment where we can grow and be successful beyond high school.

This is a sad excuse for a public school. Unfortunately the lowest rating I can give is one star, but I wouldn’t even give that if possible. The way issues are handled are absolutely pathetic and students are bullied on a daily basis, by other students AND by the school management. The school is extremely cliquey, and kids that aren’t “accepted” are a target for terrorization. It’s very ghetto and and the student body is compromised largely of gangs and a more degenerate population. Sports are the apparent priority and everything else takes a back seat, especially education. Athletes, Cheerleaders, and Dancers sail through the system, no matter what they do or say-and any bad interaction with certain kids or cliques will get turned around by management to be YOUR child’s fault, no matter the truth. I’ve seen with my own eyes kids threatened with suspension for acts of kindness, but kids who fight, vandalize, or sell drugs seem to rarely get in trouble. The school is extremely overpopulated-a fact that is freely admitted to by the faculty. We pulled one of our students out due to teacher bullying, an issue that was patheticly handled and twisted into victim blaming. Very, very sad. I would never recommend this school in a million years. It’s my firm opinion that this is not the type of high school that will help your child’s future in any way, shape or form.

Both of my kids went there, they have a great ROTC program. The students and staff are friendly. For the parents that wants some where nice to relax and when the students turn 18 they should look our club up. Free pass to Bulldogs and staff with ID first time.

too many degenerates are allowed to attend this public school. My child comes home daily talking about the foul mouthed beasts & ill spoken losers he is forced to associate with while trying to receive his education. If you don't value your spawn enough to actually raise them right don't breed! The stench of marijuana is prevalent in the hallways & classrooms & teachers ignore this of course. Too many minority thugs, useless vermin diminishing an otherwise positive environment. How very sad society has allowed it to come to this!

Centennial is a very good school. I went there all four years and changed alot. But for newcomers, the schools students are very conceited(Including me). After the first few years you either get hardened and become a very distinguished individual with good amounts of self-confidence, or get eaten alive and lost in the crowd.

I was there last year and it seems like a good environment and kind teachers

Michael Rae

I went here for 3 years, and my first day I found my family. They're amazing people and I promise it will feel like home when you walk in those doors. If you're an upcoming freshman, go to Japanese club after school in room 826 on Tuesdays, Mrs. Bernau is the most amazing teacher ever, tell her Amberly sent you. You're bound to find your heard, kid, you'll do great. Go Bulldogs, -- Amberly

Both my daughters (twins) attended Centennial and received an excellent education. They were able to gain admittance to University of Southern California where they earned a degree in Neuroscience - Magna Cum Laude. They were very well prepared for the riggers of this level education. They loved their teachers, sports, activities, clubs and the great friendships made there.

i would rate this school a -10 stars if it was a possible it could be better if they removed around like 90 percent of the teachers and 30 percent of the students. and maybe just maybe it could be a -9 stars

I think it's a great school, I personally love it there. I did also only go there for a year, but its a better high school than the one I go to now. Especially with sports. & their NJROTC program is by far the best. They are number ONE in the NATION in Drill, Academics, Color Guard, and Physical training. I would know because I was a very dedicated cadet to that program.

I've attended centennial high school from 2009-2013 and I loved this school the sports are fantastic the staff works very hard to make sure we are safe and we have on campus school police and they are great. It may take long for you to get a hold of a dean that is because they are super BUSY making sure us kids are safe at school. Centennial is the school to attend they have a whole bunch of AP classes and they are the only 4 star public school. They get high testing scores. I have enjoyed my experience at Centennial High School #bleedblue4life #bulldogs I graduate Friday June 7 at 6pm Class of 2013 and If you work hard and try you will be successful
