Very rigid and competitive curriculum. Involved teachers that really care. An arreay of extracurriculars. This school really pushes the kids to reach their full potential and makes attending college a priority. Close Quote

I have had three children at Centennial and all have had a great experience. They have really wonderful friend groups. There seems to be very little drug use compared to other schools in the area. The principal cares about the students and good communication with the parents. She tries everything to bring up the ratings. Centennial is applying to be an IB school and there's only one other in the North Fulton area. This is a great school that doesn't get enough good exposure. Close Quote

Wonderful school. High expectations and supportive atmosphere. The only thing that could be wrong is some of the parents act like spoiled brats at PTSA meetings Those parents make up a small (although vocal) group. Fantastic curriculum, teachers, sports/ academic programs. Close Quote
