Reviews of Centennial Academy Charter School (School)

Lenicia Rogers

This school has been amazing for me and my child. We came from another APS charter school that fail in comparison to Centennial Academy. Over the course of 4 months, my son has had tremendous gains in both math and reading. He has been recognized as a budding artist which makes me extremely happy because his previous school didn't have art classes. At Centennial, they focus on the WHOLE child. Not every kid is meant to be a Rhodes Scholar. Some of them will become musicians, artists, or poets and this school does a great job of cultivating each students individual talent. The STEAM program is awesome as this school partner with GA Tech, which is right across the street from the school. The Gifted Program is taught at the GA Aquarium which is within walking distance from the school as well. The teachers are excellent! Each grade level teacher knows every scholar and you can tell that they partner with each other in order to meet your child on their level. They take the time to teach the curriculum based on the level your scholars is on. With a progressive curriculum set up for K-8, I look forward to my son continuing to evolve into the person he's meant to become. Centennial Academy will make sure that this happens.

Called multiple times and can’t reach ANY staff memeber because NOBODY answers the phone. Hero desk is a joke why because nobody is there to treat you when you arrive and again doesn’t answer the phone and the same goes for enrollment I can’t reach the staff who is over enrollment. It’s really a joke at this school and LACK of professionalism. I have never experienced this in Cobb Co schools. I literally have to wait how long to even get a call back. Just POOR!!!! Y’all need to do better!!!!!!!!

Great School!!! I am in the 6th Grade and been at Centennial since Kindergarten. The school teachers you allot and the teachers are wonderful and not mean. They'll even help you when you start to grow up! The teachers are very interactive with there students. I love this school!!!

I am a single mom without any family here in Atlanta. Centennial Academy has been a phenomenal experience for me. My son has attended Centennial since Kindergarten. He is now going into the 2nd grade. The Principal, Asst Principals, and Teachers are ALL AMAZING. I love the family-feel of everyone there. The faculty is always willing to help and bend backwards to guide and assist me. I have carefully observed the Teachers interacting with my son and other students and they treat the children as if these precious beings are their own. The curriculum and STEM programs are AMAZING. At times the homework can be alot for a 1st grader lol, but it is all worth it. One more thing - the morning yoga for the kids is so innovative and really helps get the wiggles out of them before class. The YMCA After-school next door has also been a life-saver for me. If you are a single mom without any family here in Atlanta . . .I STRONGLY RECOMMEND you enroll your "bundle of joy" into this school asap and make sure you attend the Parent Teacher Meetings - these meetings are so insightful.

One of your alumni does not know that Canada is not apart of the United States and I think that’s really bad because he is a grown man. I guess that is not taught in elementary school anymore.

I have been apart of this community since 2004. I do not understand how this school has a 4.4 score in 2018. When they were K-5, this school was absolutely wonderful and on point with everything. I believe they have taken on a little more than what can be handled. My child grades have not been properly recorded since school started. Once they became a Charter School, and zoned our kids to only this school all of the older teachers left. I do not feel like my child is learning here properly, and I should not have to pack up and move elsewhere to get my child the education she deserves. Also this year round calendar schedule also should be on the regular APS schedule, because it never coincides with other after school programs. The after school programs are aligned with strictly APS, so for working parents we always have to scramble our kids to other places when they are closed just like now. We should have more than one option of our kids attending a regular traditional school environment, and not just a Charter school. Inman was the option that was wiped away from us during the vote that a lot of people who voted yes to this Charter school did not realize. Unlike me I voted No, because I did not want to have my child education placed into a trial and error debacle. Sometimes children need to be placed in different environments of diversity, because the world is not one color.

Centennial Place Elementary is a good school. They teach you skills the learn in high school. The have good programs like girls on the run. The teacher make your successful and push u to be your best. We have good staff there the make sure that you are safe in there sight. We do behavior with paw sheet with 5,4,3,2,1, and 0. My teachers in fifth grade are great teachers.

My son is in Kindergarten and he absolutely loves it. He’s learned to read very quickly and takes pride in being in good behavioral standings. The staff cares about us and is very good communicating. I never wonder about my son. Nothing but love for Centennial Academy.

I love that they improve on areas your child is lacking and keep them great on what they already know

I am disappointed with the teacher to parent communication. Parents are not allowed in the building at all to speak with their child teachers unless there is an appointment. Not during drop off while breakfast is going on nor during parent pick up. If you want to talk to your child's teacher you have to set an appointment. I did not experience this at my child's last charter school. Hand written letters have been sent to the teacher and sometimes the folders are not checked. Therefore, there is no reply. This is concerning to me because I am very concerned with my child and what is going on. She informed me she went on a fieldtrip and I was never even told where they were going let alone that they were attending a field trip. I am aware that I signed her off to go on all field trips in her parent packet at the beginning of the school year. But why would they not let us know what is going on during the school day? Especially since my child is only in kindergarten.
