Centennial High School

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Centennial High School is a public high school in Fort Collins, Colorado, serving 141 students in grades 9-12. While the Poudre School District R-1 is highly ranked, Centennial High School has consistently underperformed, ranking 314th out of 349 Colorado high schools and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Centennial High School stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (32.62%) and two or more races (6.38%) students compared to nearby schools like Fossil Ridge High School, Rocky Mountain High School, and Poudre High School. However, the school also has a very high percentage of students (60.99%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Despite its small student-teacher ratio of 12.2, Centennial High School's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly lower than the Poudre School District R-1 and the state of Colorado. For example, only 27% of 11th-grade students at Centennial High School were proficient or better in SAT Reading and Writing, compared to 72% in the district and 59% in the state. These challenges suggest that the school may need additional resources and targeted support to address the unique needs of its diverse student population and improve educational outcomes.
