Centennial Elementary School

Summary:

Centennial Elementary School is a public elementary school in Dade City, Florida, serving 672 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Pasco District, which is ranked 40 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Centennial Elementary School faces several challenges compared to nearby schools and the district as a whole. The school has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates, with 31.4% of students chronically absent in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to 29.2% in the Pasco District and 25.6% statewide. Additionally, Centennial's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages, such as a 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 46% compared to 49% in the Pasco District and 55% statewide. The school also serves a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 57.29%, which is significantly higher than nearby schools.

Despite these challenges, Centennial Elementary School spends more per student, at $12,642 in the 2023-2024 school year, than the nearby schools. This suggests the school may be allocating more resources to support its students, but it is important to ensure these resources are being used effectively to address the unique needs of the student population, such as providing targeted interventions and support to improve academic achievement and addressing the root causes of high chronic absenteeism. By working collaboratively with the district and the community, Centennial Elementary School can strive to provide all of its students with the opportunity to succeed.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
