Summary

Centennial Elementary in Fresno, California, serves 741 students in kindergarten through grade 6 and is part of Fresno Unified. Its all-grades results in 2025–2026 were below state averages in English language arts (ELA), math and science. The clearest takeaway is that all three subjects improved over four years: ELA rose from 27% to 37%, math from 19% to 32%, and science from 10% to 26%, though all remain below the state.

Among nine nearby schools with current test results, Centennial ranked fifth in ELA, third in math and second in science. Science is a local bright spot: its 26% result was 5 points above the nearby-school average, while math was 1 point below and ELA 4 points below. Compared with the district, Centennial was 2 points ahead in math and science but 3 points behind in ELA; it remained below the state by 7 points in math, 10 in science and 13 in ELA. ELA results also vary sharply by grade: grade 6 scored 53%, above the state and district, while grade 4 scored 25%, 21 points below the state. Grade 6 was the highest among nearby schools except Manchester Gate.

Centennial’s SchoolDigger standing has rebounded from the 13th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 38th percentile in 2025–2026, but it remains in the lower half statewide; SchoolDigger gives it 2 stars and ranks it 3,589th of 5,804 schools.
