Academics

The TEACH Academy (Teacher Education At Century High) develops future teachers. The e-Business Academy develops future leaders in business and entrepreneurs. Within the last two years, CST scores have gone higher than expected and have improved; however, not enough to keep the school off of the state's list of persistently low-performing schools. In 2014, Century received a six-year WASC accreditation, which is unusual for a school the federal government considers to not be meeting its AYP.
