Summary

Centennial High School is a public high school in Gresham, Oregon, serving grades 9–12 with 1,731 students as part of Centennial School District 28J. Its 2025–26 SchoolDigger rank is 214th of 271 Oregon high schools (21st percentile, 1 star), while the district ranks 125th of 141. This is a marked change from the mid-2010s, when Centennial was a 3-star school reaching the 69th percentile in 2014–15. Performance has since settled in the 14th–23rd percentile range, so the current result is slightly better than the 2022–23 low but far from earlier levels.

Compared with nearby schools, Centennial sits in the middle-to-low end. It outranks Gresham High School, Reynolds High School, and Parkrose High School, but trails David Douglas High School, Springwater Trail High School, and Adrienne C. Nelson High School. Its 70.6% graduation rate is below every nearby comprehensive high school and below Oregon's 83.0%, even though several schools with lower test scores have higher graduation rates. Chronic absenteeism is 48.0% — well above the state's 33.5%, though better than Gresham, Reynolds, Parkrose, and Reynolds Learning Academy. Test proficiency is 33.1% in ELA, 16.1% in math, and 16.6% in science; math and science are the biggest gaps.

Resources are comparatively stretched: Centennial has a student–teacher ratio of 26.7 and per-student spending of $17,975, with 89.77% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. Most subgroup effectiveness rankings fall in the bottom quartile, though African American and Pacific Islander students ranked higher in 2024–25 on very small group sizes. Overall, Centennial's relative strengths are ELA proficiency and lower absenteeism than some local peers; its pressing weaknesses are graduation rate, math and science proficiency, and consistent support across student groups.
