"This is my daughter's third high school in 3 years and she loves CHS. She even went to the "nationally ranked" school down the street but this is her favorite school by far. She says the teachers and administration at CHS are great. She gets good grades, has wonderful friends and is really happy! That's all that matters to me."

"To echo comments made before me, Centaurus is truly a hidden gem, and doesn t deserve the bad rap it sometimes gets. I graduated in '07 after 4 years at CHS and my experience there was phenomenal. I am now at a competitive university on the east coast and am proud to say that my Centaurus education has prepared me to hold my own against students who attended expensive prep schools. I wouldn t trade my CHS experience for anything."

"The CSAP scores of this school are only slightly low beacause 15% of students are learning English as a 2nd language. There is a great IB program and a large selection of classes as well as the pre-engineering academy. Centaurus also offers many sports and extra curicular activities."

"I love Centaurus. I think it is a great school. From a student's standpoint, one thing I enjoyed was that it was not clique-ish. Sure, everyone has their friends but there weren't set social groups. Although the test scores may be lower for Centaurus, I think you will get out of your education whatever you put in, despite where you go to school. If you are determined to succeed, there are great teachers here to help and support you."

"I went to this school last year, but was forced to move to clear creek high this year. I really wish i could go back because its a really great school. I move around alot so i've been to a lot of high schools, and like a typical teen my opinion is school blows, but this is the best one ive been to. i really like the emphasis on diversity, the structure of the school, and everything about it."
