Burleson is a very generic district, though I’d like to say that the good outweighs the bad by a lot. Many opportunities are given to the students and the district does try rather hard to give it’s students the best of the best. Teachers are for the most part very willing to help and listen, and the average testing rates are pretty high amongst some, and overall the academics are really good. There are also plenty of sports and extra curricular activities to get involved in. The atmosphere in schools is fairly relaxed and classrooms vary teacher to teacher, but kids are still kids and will be mean and annoying and rude. But honestly, I’d say some of the kids are the worst part about it. So all in all I think Burleson is a great district.
Centennial's learning environment has improved because there was a change in the leadership and many teachers were replaced. My freshman year up until my junior year Centennial's principal was Mr.Neal, that all changed my senior year when Mr.Holder became our new principal. Our academics and extracurriculars are highly encouraged by the staff at Centennial. Although, they could improve by recognizing sports such as Rodeo. Our geographical makeup is not very diverse and neither is the culture or clicks. The jocks and cheerleaders are the main focus, as of any school, but due to the over the funding of football, the agricultural department suffers. This has been improving and I hope that it only continues to strive for better after I graduate. Centennial does a good job of trying to prepare their students and tries to mold them into mold citizens.
Burleson ISD is a great school district! I feel we have the best teachers and our facilities are top notch. Mr Jimerson, our superintendent, is super nice and very involved at the schools. You will literally see him having lunch with the students at the high school at any given time. I am proud to be a student here, but if I could change anything it would definitely be the cliques. I realize every town has them, but I feel Burleson is such a tight knit community that it's very hard to be a new student that maybe came in later in their years or not a member of an already formed popularity group. I have gone to school here all my life, and while I know many people, I am not a part of the "popular" group because I do not play sports. Since that is such a huge part of the culture here, if you are not involved with that it can be very hard to form friendships.
