Centennial is one of the stronger nearby schools, ranking 68th out of 217 Utah schools, or about the 69th percentile, in 2025–26. Its English Language Arts results are a standout: 54.4% of seventh graders and 55.0% of eighth graders were proficient, above both district and state rates. Science performance was also above district and state levels in both grades.

The student-teacher ratio improved to 21:1, which is favorable compared with several local peers. Centennial also shows strong results for English learners and special education students. Mathematics is the clearest area for improvement: seventh-grade proficiency was 45.5%, and eighth-grade proficiency was 38.2%, trailing the strongest nearby schools, including Canyon View Junior High. Continued progress in math, particularly eighth grade, could help Centennial move closer to the area’s top-performing schools.
