Summary

Centennial Elementary School is a public K-5 school serving about 430 students in the Mount Vernon School District, which faces broader academic challenges across the region.

While Centennial's overall state rating is low, it shows important strengths compared to other schools in its own district, particularly in mathematics and in supporting English Language Learners. Its math proficiency is higher than at neighboring Jefferson Elementary or Washington Elementary School. However, the school faces significant challenges, especially in science and with a dramatic drop in math scores by 5th grade. It's important to note that all elementary schools in the Mount Vernon School District have low ratings, suggesting district-wide factors are at play.

Interesting comparisons emerge with schools just across district lines. For instance, Clear Lake Elementary School and Big Lake Elementary School in the nearby Sedro-Woolley School District have significantly higher state ratings, showing that geographic proximity doesn't always mean similar school performance. Centennial operates with a higher student-teacher ratio than some district peers but achieves comparable results, suggesting efficient use of resources. The school's performance has not fully recovered from pandemic-related declines, mirroring a trend seen in many schools.
