Summary

Centennial Elementary is a PK–5 school at 7315 Bloomington Ave S in Richfield, Minnesota, serving 303 students in the Richfield Public School District, which ranks 333 of 458 Minnesota districts (27th percentile, 1 star). Centennial's own 2025–26 rank is 728 of 869 elementary schools (16th percentile, 1 star), placing it in the bottom sixth of Minnesota elementaries. That is a slight improvement over recent years, when its percentile ranged from 9 to 14. Centennial is smaller than its same-district peers, and its free/reduced lunch rate of 73.93% in 2024–25 is well above the district's other elementaries, while its student–teacher ratio of 8.8 is among the lowest of nearby schools.

In 2025–26, proficiency was below district and state in every subject: math 31.3%, reading 29.4%, and science 10.8% at Centennial, compared with 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5% statewide. Science is the clearest weakness, at less than half the state rate. Upper grades are a bigger concern than early grades: fifth-grade reading was 29.7% versus 45.8% in the district and 54.5% in the state, and fifth-grade science was 10.8% versus 19.5% district and 25.9% state. Math also slips from 40.4% in 3rd grade to 24.3% in 5th. The good news is that math and reading have improved over four years, with reading rising from 20.0% to 29.4% and math from 26.26% to 31.3%. Special education students are a relative bright spot, ranking at the 55th percentile with 3 stars; English language learner and low-income students rank considerably lower.

Compared with its Richfield peers, Centennial trails Richfield Dual Language School (31st percentile) and Richfield Stem School (27th percentile) in all three subjects. However, Centennial serves a much higher free/reduced lunch population (73.93%) than either school, both near 45.7%. Other nearby high-poverty schools post similar or lower results, including Partnership Academy Inc., SciTech Academy Charter School, and Valley View Elementary, while higher-performing neighbors such as Seven Hills - Richfield Elementary and Windom Elementary serve far fewer low-income students. In short, Centennial is a high-need school with improving math and reading, real strength in special education, and serious challenges in science and upper-grade reading.
