Centennial Elementary School

Summary:

Centennial Elementary School is a public elementary school in Nampa, Idaho, serving 380 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school faces several key challenges, including a higher percentage of Hispanic students, high chronic absenteeism, and consistently lower test scores compared to the Nampa School District and the state of Idaho averages.

Centennial Elementary has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (38.95%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 20.34% to 52.83% Hispanic students. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 9.8% to 33.0% over the past few years, significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which have rates ranging from 17.5% to 37.3%. Additionally, Centennial Elementary's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across all subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in ISAT Math (30.6%) and ISAT English Language Arts (44.4%) well below the district and state averages.

While Centennial Elementary faces these challenges, some nearby schools, such as Lake Ridge Elementary and Willow Creek Elementary, perform significantly better on these metrics, highlighting the potential for improvement at Centennial Elementary. The school's declining performance and achievement gaps among subgroups suggest the need for targeted interventions and additional resources to support student learning and success.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
