Summary

Centennial Elementary School enrolls 434 students in grades K–6 in Tucson and is part of the Flowing Wells Unified District. In 2025–2026, 32% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) and 25% in math. Both results were below state and district levels: ELA was 9 percentage points below the state and 6 below the district; math was 8 below the state and 6 below the district. The central finding is that results leave room for improvement in both subjects, even though they are around the nearby-school average.

Compared with nearby schools, Centennial was slightly above the average in all-grades ELA proficiency—32% versus about 31%—and matched the math average at 25%. However, its results were below the averages for same-district schools: 34% in ELA and about 26% in math. Performance also varies by grade: fourth-grade ELA was a relative bright spot at 43%, matching the district and 4 points below the state, while sixth-grade ELA was 24%, 12 points below the district and 17 below the state. Math results were more evenly grouped, from 23% to 28% across grades, but fourth- and fifth-grade results were below all reported nearby schools in those grades.

Recent measures offer useful context, but not a clear achievement trend: the supplied AASA results cover only one year. Fifth-grade science proficiency fell from 25% in 2022–2023 to 21% in 2023–2024; the state stayed at 34%, while the district fell to 23%. SchoolDigger rated Centennial at the 24th percentile and one star in 2025–2026, below the district’s 37th percentile and two stars. Its percentile also dropped from 37 the prior year. The school’s 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 14.4, close to nearby schools’ 14.1 average; its free/reduced-lunch rate was 80.8% in 2022–2023, with no nearby comparison supplied. SchoolDigger’s group-specific statewide rankings also point to weaker relative results for male students: the school ranked at the 15th percentile for that group in 2024–2025, versus the 37th percentile overall. For Hispanic students, its ranking fell from the 39th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 19th in 2025–2026, while the overall school ranking was at the 24th percentile.
