Summary:
ZIP code 55014 contains 9 high schools, eight of them run by the Centennial Public School District and one, MN Correctional Facility-Lino Lakes, operated by the Minnesota Department of Corrections. Grade spans vary widely, from 6–12 at Pines School Day Program to grade 12 only at Journey and Project Search. Total enrollment across all nine is 2,257, but that figure is dominated by a single school.
Centennial High School is the clear anchor: 2,067 students, or about 91.6% of all enrollment in this list. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate of 94.8% is above the district's 92.1% and the state's 84.9%, and its 1.0% dropout rate is below the district's 1.1% and well below the state's 4.2%. Science proficiency is its standout academic strength, at 39.8% in 2025–2026 and 44.92% in 2024–2025, above both district and state in both years. Math and reading beat state averages but were below district figures in 2025–2026. Recent ranks sit in the 85th–90th percentile range with 4–5 stars, and its free/reduced lunch rate of 22.5% is the lowest reported here.
The other eight schools are very small alternative, transition, or special-purpose programs, enrolling 190 students combined (about 8.4%). Economic disadvantage is concentrated there: free/reduced lunch runs 54.43% at Centennial Area Learning Center, 63.64% at Pines School - ACS, 66.67% at Pines School - RJC and Pines School Day Program, and 80% at Pines School - NSP. Reported graduation rates swing from 0.0% at Pines School - ACS to 94.8% at Centennial High, and dropout rates from 0.0% to 9.0% — figures likely reflecting tiny cohorts, so they are not apples-to-apples comparisons. Importantly, only Centennial High reports school-level test proficiency; for the other eight schools those values are suppressed (—) by the state, meaning they are unknown rather than low.
