Summary

Centennial Elementary School in Lewiston, ID, serves 358 students in grades K-5 and is part of the Lewiston Independent District, a highly rated 4-star district that ranks 20th out of 101 Idaho districts. The school itself is on an encouraging upward path: for 2025–2026, Centennial ranks 137th out of 346 Idaho elementary schools (60th percentile, 3 stars), a significant improvement from the previous year when it ranked 202nd (40th percentile, 2 stars).

Parents will be glad to know that attendance is a real strength. Centennial's chronic absenteeism rate is just 9.1%, well below the district average of 14.9% and the state average of 13.8%; only two nearby schools have better attendance. Academically, science is a standout: 61.1% of 5th graders are proficient, beating every nearby elementary school and far exceeding the state rate of 44%. Math proficiency across all grades is 52.3%, above the state average of 43.1%, and 5th-grade math (55.6%) exceeds both district and state averages. English Language Arts proficiency jumped more than 11 percentage points in a single year to 53.6%, though it still trails the district average of 61.4%. Notably, students who remain at Centennial tend to show strong growth — 3rd graders start below state averages, but by 5th grade they are outperforming both district and state in ELA and math.

It is worth noting that Centennial accomplishes this with the highest student–teacher ratio (15.6) and the lowest per-student spending ($9,236) among nearby elementary schools, while also serving a growing share of economically disadvantaged students (43.3% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, up from 28.6% two years ago). Within the district, Centennial sits in the middle of the pack — behind Camelot Elementary School, Orchards Elementary School, and Whitman Elementary School, but ahead of Webster Elementary School, McSorley Elementary School, and McGhee Elementary School. Centennial's closest geographic neighbor, McGhee Elementary, is less than a mile away, yet Centennial outperforms it in math, attendance, and overall state ranking. If the current trajectory continues, Centennial is well positioned to become one of the top elementary schools in the district.
