Summary

Centennial High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Franklin, Tennessee, part of the highly-ranked Williamson County School District. With a student population of 1,389, Centennial High School has consistently been ranked among the top high schools in Tennessee, with a statewide ranking between 24th and 75th over the past 10 years.

Centennial High School's academic performance is particularly impressive, consistently outperforming the state average in standardized test scores across various subjects. The school's Algebra II proficiency rates are significantly higher than the state and district averages. While the school's overall performance is strong, there are some disparities in the performance of different student subgroups, an area the school may need to address.
