She did very well in kindergarten the staff is wounderful.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2009-03-11 “I absolutely love Centennial Place! My first grader lead me through his game board he created at last night's School Portfolio Night. I was amazed at how much my child knows and could tell about his learning. The teachers were happy to share his work and continuously look for exciting ways to reach my child. I am so lucky to be a part of this great place. I am a member of the PTA and we also had a Game Night after the PTA meeting. It really feels like everyone is interested in making the school the best it can be. From the great teachers to the administration, this is absolutely a great school. I am proud to be a part of this wonderful place. I suggest other parents who have not been pleased to volunteer and become an active part of the school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2009-03-11 “I am an active parent at CPE and I must say that the school is great. I have been extremely pleased with the level of instruction my children have received from Centennial. The school is full of wonderful resources that provide wonderful opportunities for the kids. The principal is always engaged in the learning and is an active part of the school. I have received high quality teachers every year for the last four years. The teachers are alays there to help assist during tutoing afterschool or before school. I love the fact my child attends a year round school and has an opportunity to have breaks throughout the year. CPE is not my zone school. I waited in long lines to get my child there and I am committed to making the school a success. I encourage all parents to send their child to CPE, it is top notch!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2009-02-20 “I have a daughter in the kindergarten at CPE and I am so glad that I opted for the administrative transfer to get her at CPE. Being a former teacher and schooled in the parochial/private school system, I can say that this is one of the best school. Parents and children can get out of it what you as a parent decide to put into it. My daughter succeeds with the help of the awsome teachers/administration and I working with each other for the betterment of my daughter. Keep up the great work CPE!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2009-02-03 “This school is the worse school that you could bring your child to. The children are terrible and the administration is the worse. They have no idea on how to handle discipline. The school is only concerned with text scores, not the students.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2009-01-27 “My two kids attended from K through 3rd. I was very impressed with all the classes and special programs this school had to offer. We moved after my husband received his PHD to the subburbs. We miss having spanish, technology, and orchestra. We found the teachers to be wonderful; some of the kids were difficult to control but all in all, we were very pleased with the staff and all the funding this school receives.” Posted By: other Quality Score: 5 2009-01-18 “I personally went to this school from 2nd grade and graduated from the 5th grade in 2002. It was the greatest experience of my life, the teachers were excellent; they worked with me and my mom to make sure I did great in areas I struggled in. They also offered me a free tutor from the CocaCola building across the street to help me with math and liturature; two subjects that I excel in to this day. I aslo made childhood friends that I'm still in touch with now. I absolutly loved Centennial Place Elm. and you should definatly consider bringing your child there :]” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2009-01-17 “I too have had a wonderful experience at Centennial Place. My daughter has been at Centennial Place since Kindergarten, and she is now in the second grade where she continues to excel. She did a phenomenal job on her statewide tests, and is in the gifted program. Her teachers have been there challenging her, and more importantly, encouraging and reassuring her. I really can't express how happy I am with her teachers! . They show a genuine concern for their students, and are always ready and willing to address any concerns, as well as provide parents with additional information and resources to further enhance the students' educational activities outside of school. Another thing that I truly appreciate is the 'sense of family' at Centennial Place.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-10-12 “WOW! I am surprised by some of the reviews. My daughter is in second grade and have been a student for two years. Her teachers have been FANTASTIC and demanding. My daughter is doing fantastic and has ace'd her statewide standardized test and is now labled a gifted student just like her older sister and brother who attended private schools. I think any childs success is a combination of teachers, parents and environments, NOT just the teacher. One last comment, my son and daughter ran into kid drama at school including having their lunch stolen at the PRIVATE school they attended. They survived and learned to keep track of their items and fight thru the legitimate channels to make school work for them.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-10-10 “This school gets zero stars from me period!The students have behavioral problems that cause the students who want to learn to be punished!My daughter who is in 4th grade packs her lunch daily .Today someone stole her lunch right in the class room ! She starved! The curriculum is not acceptable for her grade level in fact her math class is two years behind other local schools.And to top it all off the teachers will give them all an F if the class cant control themselves!This is my daughters first and last year she is a very bright child and I want to keep her that way! Please parents think twice b4 sending your child to this school!” Posted By: other Quality Score: decline 2008-02-17 “It's a great school with caring, dedicated teachers. I'm proud to be an Atlantan!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2007-11-02 “I agree with the parent that commented about the suspension if you child has some behavioral concerns. I understand the importance of academic excellence, but life creates other challenges for some people. Centennial in my opinion, is a political school that bases' its reputation on the socioeconomic status of its parents. If you have money, as one parent stated that she came from a private school; then yes Centennial Place is the school for your child.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-10-05 “Centennial Place is a great school. The new principal, Alison Shelton, is dedicated to academic excellence. She is invested in both the students and the teachers. Her commitment to her teachers is shown by her desire to provide quality professional development. She knows that the best intervention is a well trained teacher! I have seen her target a problem and through the use of diagnostics, teacher feedback and student achievement create a balanced intervention geared to promote student success. Centennial Place is a great place to be a student!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-09-28 “Centennial Place is a great school. My child has been attending the school for 2 years and he loves it! If your child is going to the 4th Grade next year, ask he/she be placed in Dr. Stinson's class. Dr. Stinson is a fabulous teacher and all of her students loved her last year. My child, now in the 5th Grade, was in her class last year and it was a great experience for us and for him. When your child goes to 5th grade, make sure he/she is in Mrs. Pierce's class because she is very disciplined but is fun. I hope you take my advice.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-07-12 “This shool is a great school. My child has attended this school for three years, and the teachers and staff are great. I would like to thank CPE for giving my child the education and knowledge to repair her for the next level.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-05-22 “This school has the makings of everything Needed to be a great School, however, there is a disconnect somewhere. The level of parent involvement is extrememly high. This is truly a school made great by its parents. All grades have regular music, art, gym and spanish. Behavior issues appear to be minimum amoung the students (I have a young child in the school). The teachers appear dedicated. Given this combination, I think it may be the glue that brings all of this together that is missing. Communication with parents is slow, favorites are popular (favorite students, teachers, parents etc)and while parents are said to be valued, participation with the classroom is not as welcomed as stated. and I agree there is no opportunity for advanced young students to continue a challenging academic experience. I can see many declining early achievers in this building. Seasoned teachers and the principal should intervene.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-03-28 “My child has attended Centennial for three years now and I find the teachers and staff well qualified and pleasant. However, the behavioral problems at every grade level cancel out any of the good qualities of the school. The students that are there to learn are cheated out of a good education by those who are not. I'm seriously considering moving my child to another school in the fall.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2006-06-09 “Extremely disappointed in the quality of academic programs. If you are entering this school from a private school, this facility has no place for you in the K-1st grade sect. 'Challenge' begins at 2nd grade. So if you have a young advanced learner, this school does not provide a good transitional opportunity and I felt alienated as the parent when I sought additional educational options for my child.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-02-27 “Great well-rounded curriculum. The teachers and administration are involved in the success of the children. Very active PTA/parents!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-08-23 “Great school academicly, but too concerned about upholding school standards to really take time with the children. If your child has any behavior issues you may as well find another school because they don't offer any help, just suspension.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2005-08-02 “My 5 year old just started in kindergarten. My first impressions: friendly staff, clearly a very systematic operations, love the feel and the smiles from the teachers and other parents”
