Less than satisfactory. However, the band teacher is phenomenal. He is a master of teaching music and my son adores him. He has been the most positive experience at the school. I wish ever teacher could teach with such enthusiasm.

My experience here was dreadful. The events that took place were not my cup of tea at all. For any student. If you want to bring your child/children here, make sure to tell them to be prepared for anyone or anything that tries to get in their way.

I recently finished my three full years at Century Middle School, but the school will receive negative comments based upon my experience. Yes, the school does teach the students and I did see a huge improvement in my work from 6th grade to 8th grade. Most of the teachers I had were greatly effective upon my learning. Of course, there are a few in that bunch that happened to be real hard upon me. In 6th grade, I did slack off, but was still in the top half of classes. I did struggle a little. It helped me with knowing my rights and wrongs, yet that's when things started to get tougher. There would be nights where I stood up until 1, working, and wasn't able to spend a lot of time with my family. I remember coming home some nights and just passing out almost instantly due to being stressed out. All my teachers were nice to me (only because I stood on their good side). Coming into 8th grade--well--was horrible. Nights were spent the same, only less time with the family. I had one core teacher who treated the students so badly. One little mistake on an assignment would bring our grade down way too much. I started to feel like I was a stupid child and started to tell people that I was horrible at the subject. The 8th grade project only made it worse. I cried myself to sleep most nights, my parent would yell at me almost everyday telling me I was such a slacker, and I spent hours trying to research the perfect project that was unique, but I couldn't with such little time. For future students, think about the project before the school bring it up. It really is a lifesaver. Additionally, teachers never really pay attention to what is being said in class. During an educational movie, some teenage girl was informing us in the video. These two boys I sat behind just sat there sexuallizing her body and continued on to talk about their preferences. It made me uncomfortable. The teacher was just sitting at their computer or got up, getting a little closer to the students. Another time, a group of boys just started to sexuallize female students. Talking about each girl and whether they would "smash", kiss, or, date. I was mentioned.... One kid in 6th grade was even bullied three seats in front of the teacher! As an 8th grader, the whole grade was blamed for all the 6th and 7th graders mistakes. We were always yelled at daily! Just be careful when enrolled at this school.
