Summary

Century School is a public elementary school in Bear River City, Utah, serving 440 students in kindergarten through fifth grade as part of Box Elder District. The school is a medium-sized local elementary school, with a 29.1% free- or reduced-price lunch rate. In 2025–26, it ranked in the 44th statewide percentile and received two stars. Its performance has varied: the school reached the 59th percentile in 2024–25 after earlier improvement, but then fell to the 44th percentile.

Mathematics is Century’s strongest academic area. About 57.8% of students were proficient in both third- and fourth-grade math, exceeding district and state results, although fifth-grade math fell to 38.8%. English language arts is the clearest weakness: third grade performed well at 51.6%, but proficiency dropped to 35.2% in fourth grade and 35.0% in fifth grade, both below district and state levels. Science results were also below district and state averages in grades 4 and 5. Compared with nearby Garland School, Three Mile Creek School, and Golden Spike Elementary, Century is performing at a lower level overall, but it ranks above Lake View School and North Park School.

The main improvement priorities are strengthening reading and writing in grades 4 and 5, understanding the fifth-grade math decline, and improving science achievement. Century’s student-teacher ratio of 20.0 is close to nearby schools such as Discovery School and Three Mile Creek School. Attendance may also deserve attention: Century’s most recent school-level chronic absenteeism figure was 32.3% in 2022–23, and a newer school figure is unavailable. Garland School, the strongest same-district benchmark, combined a similar lunch-rate profile with an 81st-percentile ranking and 2.3% chronic absenteeism. Century has shown it can improve, but its next challenge is making gains consistent across subjects and grade levels.
