Summary

Academically, Centennial High School's performance on state assessments lags behind the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 34.4% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 44.4%. The school's graduation rate has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 67.9% to 81.8%, which is lower than the state average. Additionally, Centennial High School has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 34.3% to 47.5%, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Benson Polytechnic High School and Leodis V. McDaniel High School, both in the higher-performing Portland School District, Centennial High School's academic performance is generally lower. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 91 out of 292 Oregon high schools in 2014-2015 to 207 out of 270 in 2024-2025, suggests that its performance has been deteriorating relative to other schools in the state.
