Summary

Century School is an elementary school located in Bear River City, Utah, serving 451 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Box Elder School District, which is ranked 53 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, Century School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a ranking between 222 and 420 out of around 550-570 schools.

Century School has faced several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 23.8% to 32.7% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Mountainside and Three Mile Creek. Additionally, the school's test scores on the RISE assessments are generally below the Box Elder District and state averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 40.3% of 5th graders at Century School were proficient or better in RISE Mathematics, compared to 42% for the district and 44.4% for the state.

However, it's important to note that the performance of nearby schools within the same district varies significantly. For instance, Three Mile Creek and Garland School both outperform Century School on various metrics, including test scores and school rankings. This suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement at Century School through the adoption of effective practices and strategies used by higher-performing schools in the area.
