Summary

Century High School serves 1,068 students in grades 9–12 in Pocatello, Idaho, and is part of the Pocatello District. The school has earned a 4-star rating from the state and ranks 25th out of 122 Idaho high schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the 80th percentile statewide. That puts it well ahead of nearby comprehensive high schools, including Pocatello High School (45th), Highland High School (69th), and Marsh Valley High School (72nd).

Academically, Century is a standout in English Language Arts and science. On the 2025–2026 end-of-course exams, 74.4% of students were proficient in ELA and 58.3% in science, compared to state averages of 61.3% and 41.2%, respectively. The school's graduation rate has also been strong, reaching 91.8% in 2023–2024 versus the state average of 82.3%. Math is the clearest area for improvement: only 35.7% of students were proficient in math in 2024–2025, below both the district (46.1%) and state (43.1%) averages.

The biggest challenge facing Century is chronic absenteeism. In 2025–2026, 28.6% of students were chronically absent, roughly double the state rate of 13.8% and higher than every other comprehensive high school in the area. Despite this, the school continues to achieve strong results, and its support for economically disadvantaged students is exceptional—Century ranked 1st among 13 Idaho schools for low-socioeconomic-status students in 2022–2023. The school also does more with less, spending $7,455 per student, which is lower than New Horizon High School's $13,073 while producing far stronger outcomes. Improving attendance and math instruction could make Century even stronger.
