Summary:
ZIP code 84604 has one listed middle school, Centennial Middle, serving students in grades 7–8. The school enrolls 1,073 students and is part of the Provo District. Because there is no other middle school in the ZIP code for comparison, the most useful picture comes from Centennial’s results compared with district and Utah averages. Overall, the school shows notable strengths in English Language Arts, science, attendance, and recent ranking results, while mathematics is the main area needing attention.
Centennial’s strongest academic results in 2025–2026 were in English Language Arts and science. About 54% of students were proficient in both subjects across grades 7 and 8. ELA proficiency was 54.4% in 7th grade and 55.0% in 8th grade, exceeding statewide results by roughly 9–11 percentage points. Science proficiency was similarly steady at 54.1% in 7th grade and 54.5% in 8th grade, above both district and state results. Mathematics was weaker, averaging 41.9% across the two grades. The 7th-grade result was 45.5%, while 8th-grade proficiency fell to 38.2%, slightly below the Utah average. Families may want to pay particular attention to how the school supports students during the transition into 8th-grade mathematics.
Attendance is a positive feature: Centennial’s 15.8% chronic absenteeism rate was substantially lower than the district’s 22.3% and Utah’s 23.8%. The school’s reported ranking also improved to the 69th percentile in 2025–2026, up from the 58th percentile the previous year, although it retained a three-star rating. Mathematics results were mixed year over year, with 7th-grade proficiency declining and 8th-grade proficiency improving modestly. Science improved overall, and ELA remained consistently strong. With a 21:1 student-teacher ratio and roughly one-third of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Centennial is a relatively large middle school with a generally positive academic profile and a clear opportunity to strengthen mathematics instruction.
