Summary

Centennial Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lewiston, Idaho, serving 353 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Lewiston Independent School District, which is ranked 22 out of 96 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Centennial Elementary School is part of a well-regarded district, it has faced some challenges in recent years. The school has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in academic proficiency on the ISAT (Idaho Standards Achievement Test) in Math, Science, and English Language Arts. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Centennial's proficiency rates were 51.2% in Math, 52.3% in Science, and 42.2% in English Language Arts, while the district and state averages were higher. Additionally, Centennial has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates, with a rate of 15.0% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the district and state averages.

Interestingly, the nearby Camelot Elementary School, McSorley Elementary School, and Whitman Elementary School generally outperform Centennial Elementary in academic proficiency, with Camelot being the highest-performing school in the area. Centennial's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from being ranked 93 out of 188 Idaho elementary schools in the 2021-2022 school year to being ranked 202 out of 337 in the 2024-2025 school year, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
