Summary:

Centennial Campus Middle has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with higher percentages of African American and Hispanic students. However, the school has consistently underperformed academically, with proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Science significantly lower than the district and state averages. Centennial Campus Middle has a low statewide ranking, placing between 431 and 644 out of 793 North Carolina middle schools, and has been rated 1 or 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with White students and students with disabilities tending to perform better than African American, Hispanic, and economically disadvantaged students.

Despite the school's challenges, the fact that it is a magnet school suggests that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and specialized programming to help improve student outcomes.

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.

Open Quote We have attended Centennial for two years now and it has been a great school for our child. The things we like most about Centennial are 1. the small size relative to most middle schools, 2. the STEM focus and 3. the beautiful campus at NC State. Our child is growing in a positive way thanks to the great staff and administrators at Centennial. Close Quote

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.
