Summary

Centennial Middle School is a public school serving about 730 students in grades 7 and 8 in the generally well-regarded Snohomish School District.

Recent data shows the school's academic performance has declined and now lags significantly behind both the state average and, more notably, its own district. In core subjects like English and Math, student proficiency rates at Centennial are 15 to 17 points lower than the Snohomish School District average. This is especially clear when comparing it to Valley View Middle School, the other middle school in the same district, which consistently outperforms Centennial by a wide margin. Furthermore, while many nearby schools like Lake Stevens Middle School have maintained or improved their rankings, Centennial's statewide ranking has fallen from the 60th percentile to the 49th percentile in recent years.

The school faces specific challenges, including a significant drop in student test scores between 7th and 8th grade, and it has been less effective in serving students with special needs compared to other schools in the state. Despite operating in a strong district and having resource levels similar to other area schools, Centennial's performance trajectory is concerning and indicates it is an outlier compared to both its historical performance and its geographic peers in the Snohomish area.
