Summary:

The Centennial Public School District area includes 8 high schools serving grades 6 through 12, with 2,250 high-school students in this data extract. Enrollment is extremely concentrated: Centennial High School alone has 2,067 students — 91.9% of the total — while the other seven schools are small alternative or specialized programs enrolling 8 to 79 students each. The district carries an overall rating of 4 stars, ranking 58th of 458 districts (87th percentile), though that is a district-level figure repeated for every school rather than a school-level rank.

Centennial High School is the academic standout. It reports a 94.8% graduation rate (above the district's 92.1% and the state's 84.9%) and a 1.0% dropout rate (below the district's 1.1% and the state's 4.2%). Its 2025–26 proficiency is 52.9% in math, 52.4% in reading and 39.8% in science, all above statewide results; science is a particular strength at 39.8% vs. 25.5% statewide, and 44.92% vs. 26.15% the prior year. It ranked 69th of 473 (85th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–26, 52nd of 450 (88th, 4 stars) in 2024–25, and 46th of 480 (90th, 5 stars) in 2023–24 — still in the state's top 15%, though trending slightly down.

The other schools look very different. Centennial Area Learning Center (79 students, 54.43% free/reduced lunch) reports a 61.7% graduation rate and 2.9% dropout rate. Pines School - ACS reports a 0.0% graduation rate and 9.0% dropout rate, while Pines School - RJC reports 9.0% graduation and 0.0% dropout; both cohorts are so small that one student moves the rate by several points. Pines School - NSP has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (80%), and Pines School Day Program (9 students) reports a 0.5 student-teacher ratio. Test scores for every school except Centennial High are suppressed or absent, as are several graduation, dropout and ratio values for Journey and Project Search. Those gaps are unknowns, not evidence of poor performance. Free/reduced lunch averages about 55.9% across the seven schools reporting it, but is roughly 25.3% enrollment-weighted because Centennial High dominates.
