Summary

Centennial High School in Roswell, GA, serves approximately 1,643 students in grades 9-12 as part of Fulton County Schools, and it has earned a solid 4-star rating from SchoolDigger while maintaining a graduation rate of 95.3%—well above the district average of 91.9% and the state average of 87.2%.

One of the most striking findings is Centennial's dramatic improvement in Biology End of Course test scores. In the most recent school year, 71.5% of students scored proficient or better—a remarkable jump from 53.6% the year before. This places Centennial well above the district average (59.7%) and state average (47.2%), and it now rivals nearby Alpharetta High School (76.9%) and approaches the levels seen at Chattahoochee High School (79.6%). The school also excels at serving English Language Learner students, ranking in the 80th percentile statewide—a notable achievement compared to higher-ranked neighbors like Johns Creek High School and Innovation Academy. Additionally, chronic absenteeism has been cut in half, dropping from 30.9% to 14.7%, which now beats both the district (16.6%) and state (17.7%) averages.

However, Algebra I proficiency is a significant concern. Only 34.1% of Centennial students scored proficient—a steep decline from 49.6% the prior year—and this is well below the district average (60.6%) and state average (48.1%). This 37-point gap between Biology and Algebra I performance is unusual and suggests an area that needs attention. It's worth noting that Centennial serves a more economically diverse population (43% free/reduced lunch) than its elite neighbors, yet it still achieves strong graduation rates and impressive science results. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.1:1 and higher per-student spending than several nearby schools, Centennial has the resources to address its math challenges. If it can bring Algebra I performance in line with its other subjects, this school could easily climb back into the top 100 Georgia high schools.

Very rigid and competitive curriculum. Involved teachers that really care. An arreay of extracurriculars. This school really pushes the kids to reach their full potential and makes attending college a priority. Close Quote

I have had three children at Centennial and all have had a great experience. They have really wonderful friend groups. There seems to be very little drug use compared to other schools in the area. The principal cares about the students and good communication with the parents. She tries everything to bring up the ratings. Centennial is applying to be an IB school and there's only one other in the North Fulton area. This is a great school that doesn't get enough good exposure. Close Quote

Wonderful school. High expectations and supportive atmosphere. The only thing that could be wrong is some of the parents act like spoiled brats at PTSA meetings Those parents make up a small (although vocal) group. Fantastic curriculum, teachers, sports/ academic programs. Close Quote
