Kyrene Centennial Middle School

We really wanted to love CMS as our experience at the elementary school next to it was wonderful. CMS has been disappointing at best. Admin seems to be chasing their tails. Teachers are unresponsive to questions and emails. Admin seems to pick and chose what rules of the handbook they follow. There are many violent fights occurring on campus along with vaping and drugs. The school doesn't appear to have resources to make the campus safe and secure for all. If they have the resources, they are certainly reluctant to use them. As an open district I encourage anyone considering Kyrene district to chose another middle school that has better leadership than what CMS has.

I would rate it a 0 it is one of the worst experiences of my life

I would rate this school a 0 I am an african child who was called the N word by a cacasian child and he never got in trouble but if ot was the other way around i would have gotten a conduct referal i find this school to be extremly racist toward black kids and i think the good rating that it has is completly false.

I love CMS! Never had an issue with either of the admins or the PTOs in this school. Jocelyn Sims was an outstanding, caring Principal with new ideas that were copied throughout the district. Unfortunately, she had to relocate and her successor, Michelle Anderson, is equally sharp and caring. The teachers have always kept in touch with us concerning our kids and are willing to work with us to help them. Of course there will always be teachers you don't see eye-to-eye with and parents who feel they weren't treated well. Having had kids at this school over the past 15 years, I can tell you that our experience at CMS has been very, very good! I haven't regretted our kids' attendance there for one minute.
