Summary

Centennial Middle School is a public middle school in Yuma, Arizona, serving 675 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Crane Elementary District, which is ranked 191 out of 289 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Centennial Middle School consistently underperforms compared to the Crane Elementary District and the state of Arizona in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 17% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to 23% in the district and 30% statewide. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking highly for African American and Native American students but struggling with other subgroups, such as female, male, Hispanic, and special education students. Additionally, Centennial Middle School has relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 5.2% to 6.1% over the past few years, which are higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Southwest Junior High School and San Luis Middle School, which are part of the Gadsden Elementary District, Centennial Middle School generally performs worse academically. The school's leadership and the Crane Elementary District should prioritize developing and implementing targeted strategies to address these challenges and improve student outcomes.
