Summary

Centennial Junior High is a public school in Kaysville, Utah, serving grades 7–9 and about 956 students as part of Davis District, an area with several nearby junior highs that provide useful local comparisons. Centennial ranks 42nd out of 217 Utah middle schools, placing it in the 81st percentile with a 4-star rating. It remains a strong school statewide, although its current ranking is lower than its exceptional earlier results, including 4th place in 2018–19 and 9th place in 2022–23. This represents a shift from elite performance to strong performance, not a move to average standing.

Academically, Centennial exceeded both district and state proficiency rates in all nine reported subject-grade areas in 2025–26. Its strongest results were 7th-grade mathematics at 67.1%, 7th-grade ELA at 62.2%, and 9th-grade science at 62.6%. Its 7th-grade performance is especially competitive: the school had the highest nearby 7th-grade ELA result and tied Fairfield Junior High for the top 7th-grade math result. Centennial generally compares favorably with Farmington Junior High and is well ahead of Syracuse Junior High, Central Davis Junior High, and North Davis Junior High. However, Kaysville Junior High and Shoreline Junior High are stronger in several 8th- and 9th-grade subjects.

Attendance is another notable strength. Centennial’s chronic absenteeism rate was 11.6%, well below the district’s 18.6% and Utah’s 23.8%, and second-lowest among the 10 comparison schools, narrowly behind Kaysville. The clearest academic improvement opportunity is later-grade mathematics: 9th-grade math proficiency was 50.7%, above state and district levels but below Kaysville and Shoreline. Centennial also serves a relatively low-poverty student population compared with nearby schools, so proficiency comparisons should be viewed in context. Overall, the school combines broad academic strength, strong attendance, and a particularly effective 7th-grade profile.

Open Quote Centennial has a good principal. The students also have a beautiful building to attend school in. The majority of teachers provide a great learning experience. Sadly however, many students who attend school at Centennial Jr High live in an area in which the residents consider themselves to be "elite" people. This carries over into how students interact with one another. I personally believe that the students have grown up witth the idea that they are wonderful, elite people. If the students feel threatened by anyone who may challenge their belief that they're number one, then many of them don't know how to cope with it. Unfortunately because of this prevalent attitude that exists in so many students there, my kids have consistently had mean rumors spread about them, they've been called mean and derogatory names, and they've had mean things done to them. I'm sure some have had a better experience than we have, but I can't say that this school is a wonderful fit for everyone. Close Quote
