Centennial Public School District


Summary:

The Centennial Public School District in Minnesota operates 15 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 8 high schools, serving students from early childhood through 12th grade. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with several standout schools that consistently rank among the best in the state.

At the elementary level, Rice Lake Elementary stands out as a top-performing school, with exceptional test scores and a low free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a relatively affluent student population. The district's only middle school, Centennial Middle, also performs exceptionally well, ranking in the top 10% of Minnesota middle schools. At the high school level, Centennial High School is the district's flagship, ranking in the top 10% of Minnesota high schools and boasting a 95% graduation rate.

However, the data also reveals areas for improvement within the district. While the top-performing schools are exceptional, there is a notable disparity in performance between these schools and the district's lower-performing alternative schools, such as the Pines School programs. Additionally, the data suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with schools serving a higher percentage of students from low-income families tending to have lower test scores and graduation rates. The district may need to focus on addressing these achievement gaps and supporting its struggling schools to ensure more equitable outcomes for all students.
