My family has had an amazing experience at the Academy. My son started in 2nd grade and is now in…read morethe 10th grade. The school is inclusive, has many options for all different interests. The theater and choir program has been especially welcoming to my family. I love the small environment where teachers know my son instead of feeling like just a number. Academics are challenging but not over the top so kids can still enjoy the social emotional aspects of school. College credits can be earned in high school free of charge. My son will have lifelong friendships thanks to this school.

If you want emotionally damaged children, send them here! From K-9th, I was severely bullied by my…read morepeers and humiliated by staff while everybody did nothing. In 3rd grade, I couldn't "walk up the stairs the right way" so my teacher would pull me aside, make me hold her hand and told my classmates to laugh at me until I learned how to go upstairs the "right way". In 4th grade, my art teacher hung up every student's artwork except mine. When asked why, she said my artwork wasn't good enough. In 6th grade, a group of girls ripped off my fake fingernails, told me to kill myself and one girl threatened to kill me. When the principal was informed, she forced me to apologize. My teacher made me hug those girls because he said I instigated it all. In 8th grade, a teacher threw a desk at me because I asked to change seats. I left the Academy with several mental disorders and lifelong emotional damage. Also, in high school, when we would have substitutes, they would just pick a random teacher that had little to no knowledge in the subject they were substituting in. The staff here was useless and, if anything, encourages bullying, harassment and humiliation.

As a long-time Centennial parent with six kids who have attended here, I've seen this school from…read morejust about every angle. My children have had IEPs, 504 plans, and been in gifted and talented programming, so this isn't a one-lane experience. What I've consistently seen is a staff that is thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely invested in kids as individuals. Centennial provides structure, support, and accountability, and in our experience, that balance has helped our kids grow. Academically, my kids have been both challenged and supported. Communication has been consistent. Centennial is a diverse, Title I school, and that diversity is one of its strengths. Many families, including mine, value the sense of community and belonging that comes with it. Our children have been known, supported, and cared for in ways that matter.

We moved to the area from a higher income county. Our Child has and IEP. (A child should have an…read moreIEP to protect them from getting expelled from school. It reminds the School Districts that it has a responsibility to provide education to all kids, regardless of their particular type of disability.) Adams County School District is far less prepared to handle students with emotional needs (IEPs) than our previous county School District (SD) was. (We're not wimpy parents and don't treat our kids like spoiled brats. But we have a brain, and can see what works and what does not with our child.) We were told that Centennial E was one of two schools that Adams School District said was 'prepared' to work with kids with IEP issues and thus we were shuffled off to Centennial, 10 miles from our home. (There is a perfectly good and highly rated Elementary (E) a two minute walk from our house, but they can not take our child there.) Centennial E is rated as a low performing school, on two different state level measures. I think this is mainly because of the neighborhood in which it is located. It tends to be properties with less value than surrounding areas; not that this area can be considered 'low income'. However, there is a trailer park adjacent to the school. Even though our child was shuffled off to Centennial E, because of their IEP, we found the school unable to deal effectively with students who have IEP needs. The schools seems more focused on punishing kids than working with the kids to teach them skills to overcome whatever issue is holding them back, or periodically getting in their way. Looking back over the last year, our child did not seem to have a pathway that allowed them to work their way back into a regular classroom, as they did in our previous county SD. Every time my child would make great gains in learning how to control their issue and climb the ladder to (the school's definition of what was acceptable) the goal of inclusion in a normal classroom environment, a slip would drag him all the way back down to the bottom of the ladder. He would have to start all over again. (The school's definition of what was acceptable behavior seemed to me to be more focused on how little disruption any child would cause to a teacher; a la Pink Floyd's The Wall.) This becomes very defeating to a child. This 'AN' room seems more like a jail to us. Our child was in class with other children who are similarly challenged and similarly punished, and it seems to me that this begins to instill the idea in them that they are bad kids. Many of them showed signs of not caring anymore about becoming better. In addition to all that, we have had to work with our child over the summer just to make sure that they have learned everything that they should, according to (or to stay up with) the Common Core standards. My child is bright, but a lot of what should have been covered in their education was not. We are dissatisfied and looking for other options. I friend that we had made at the School, who had a very bright child, would tell us stories from a different perspective. Her son was in the highest level classes available at the school. (There where other schools in the area, some advanced. But the more advanced schools had waiting lists or lottery systems to wait through.) This boy would often come home upset because he was constantly being picked on and challenged for being 'smart'. The boy is somewhat athletic. He could play any type of sport. We were told that the teachers would see this 'bullying' and do nothing, deny it happened, or say something the the effect of 'boys will be boys' or 'there is nothing we can do'. It seems that being smart is looked down on in this neighborhood, while being athletic; i.e. soccer, football, was to be exalted. I think if you cared enough to take an interest in the School that your kids attend, you should take your kids out of this school as fast as possible, at least until the SD brought in to this school some wholesale change in thought-process, and took some time to improve the management and performance of this School.

Umm, Racist? The one star reviewer here obviously is just disgruntled because she didn't get…read morehired. There is far more ethnic diversity here than in any other school in Boulder County, which, predominantly racially homogeneous. There are countless Latino, Asian, and Indian families in our community, both in the student body and faculty and all are welcomed. Yes, the application process is rigorous. Why do you think this school is ranked #1 in Colorado and in the US Top 100 schools year after year? Now the real gripe I have that has moved me from 5 to 4 stars in the last two years is the encroachment of BVSD traditional meat grinder education that is seeping into the school little by little. We chose to come here to escape the "One size fits all" and "teach to the lowest common denominator" educational platform offered by public schools. But after the founders moved on and district administrators came in they have adopted BVSD programs and the model has shifted greatly. Today it is looking more like a regular public school, even common core math was implemented as well as Michelle O's school lunch mandates. We chose P2P to get away from this and now they have moved the whole school backwards when nothing was broken and for the first time last year we did not win a John Irwin award nor did we rank in the top 100 list. Why is it that we look at a school that is operating beyond excellence and decide we need to change it? GFS, Father of two P2P students Grades 5 & 6 who have been there since Kindergarten
