Summary
Centennial School is a K–5 elementary school in Roosevelt, Utah, serving 438 students in the Duchesne District, a rural area where the district ranks 67th out of 92 statewide. The school ranks 462nd out of 563 Utah schools, placing it around the 18th percentile with a one-star rating. Its ranking has generally declined from the 44th percentile in 2018–19. Centennial also faces significant attendance challenges: 42.9% of students were chronically absent in 2024–25, compared with 31.0% in the district and 23.8% statewide. Nearly half of students, 48.17%, qualified for free or reduced-price lunch.
Academic results are below district and state averages in all tested subjects. Centennial’s approximate 2025–26 proficiency averages were 26.3% in English language arts, 27.4% in mathematics, and 41.4% in science, compared with district averages of 39.0%, 41.0%, and 50.0%. The most urgent weaknesses were third-grade ELA at 17.8% and fifth-grade mathematics at 17.5%. Fourth grade was stronger, including 38.8% proficiency in mathematics and 43.3% in science, but still below state benchmarks. Compared with nearby Kings Peak School, Centennial scored lower in nearly every comparable subject, while it generally outperformed nearby East School. Farther-away Altamont School ranked at the 75th percentile and substantially outperformed Centennial, though it serves a different student population.
One positive trend is Centennial’s improved student-teacher ratio, which fell from 20.5 in 2022–23 to 16.8 in 2024–25—better than Kings Peak, East, and Altamont. However, the staffing improvement has not yet produced stronger overall achievement, suggesting that attendance, instructional consistency, student mobility, or intervention effectiveness may need attention. For parents, the clearest picture is an uneven school with some stronger fourth-grade results but serious concerns in early-grade literacy, mathematics, fifth-grade mathematics, and daily attendance. Families comparing schools should consider both test performance and the school’s effort to address these challenges.
