Summary

Centennial Elementary in Houston, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 1,090 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Humble Independent School District (Isd), consistently ranking as a 3-star school in the 60th to 66th percentile statewide. This places it as a solid, above-average option in a highly polarized local landscape, where nearby schools range from the top-performing Groves Elementary (91st percentile, 5-star) to struggling schools like Whispering Pines Elementary (15th percentile, 1-star). Centennial stands out for its exceptional performance with diverse student subgroups, achieving 4-star ratings for its White, African American, and Asian students, and for a remarkable recent turnaround with Special Education students (jumping from the 35th to 81st percentile) and English Language Learners (from the 23rd to 68th percentile).

However, the school faces notable challenges. Math scores are a persistent weakness, with 3rd-grade math at 46.32% and 5th-grade math at 42.86% in the most recent year, both lagging behind district and state averages. Additionally, its Gifted and Talented (GT) students rank in only the 39th percentile (2-star), suggesting the school may not be adequately challenging its highest-achieving learners. The student-to-teacher ratio of 17.5:1 is significantly higher than nearby peers like Park Lakes Elementary (11.2:1) and Ridge Creek Elementary (13.6:1), indicating larger class sizes.

Interestingly, Centennial spends $10,128 per student—more than top-performing Groves Elementary ($8,767) but less than struggling Whispering Pines Elementary ($11,643)—suggesting that instructional strategies, not just spending, drive outcomes. For parents, Centennial offers a reliable, mid-tier option with strong recent gains for vulnerable students, but those seeking top-tier academics or advanced math programs may want to explore nearby high-performers like Groves Elementary or Atascocita Springs Elementary.
