Summary:
The 81152 zip code is home to a single alternative public school, Centennial School, which serves grades PK-12 and has a total enrollment of 186 students. As an alternative school, Centennial stands out from the typical elementary, middle, and high school offerings in the area, which are part of the Centennial School District No. R-1.
Centennial School has a relatively low dropout rate of 1.9% but a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.7%, suggesting challenges in student engagement and attendance. The school's test scores are significantly below the state averages in core subjects like CMAS/Science, CMAS/English Language Arts, and CMAS/Math, indicating that the school may be struggling to provide its students with the necessary academic support and resources to achieve proficiency. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 93.55%, underscoring the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population.
Despite these challenges, Centennial School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.5, which could be a potential strength, as it may allow for more individualized attention and support for students. However, this factor alone does not appear to be sufficient to overcome the other performance challenges the school is facing. Overall, the data suggests that Centennial School requires further analysis and targeted interventions to address the academic, attendance, and socioeconomic issues that are impacting student outcomes.
