Summary

Centennial Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tucson, Arizona, serving 439 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Flowing Wells Unified District, which is ranked 175 out of 289 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Centennial Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state in standardized test scores across grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were significantly lower than the district and state averages. The school has also struggled to support the academic achievement of certain student subgroups, with rankings for female, male, Hispanic, and special education students in the bottom half or bottom third of Arizona elementary schools in recent years. Centennial Elementary has been consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade.

Interestingly, the nearby J. Robert Hendricks Elementary School, which is also part of the Flowing Wells Unified District, consistently outperforms Centennial Elementary in academic proficiency rates and overall school rankings. Additionally, Centennial Elementary School's performance has declined over time, with its statewide ranking dropping from the top third of Arizona elementary schools in 2018-2019 to the bottom half in more recent years. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 80% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a significant factor contributing to these academic challenges.
