Centennial Public Schools

The Centennial Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of three schools: one elementary school, one middle school, and one junior-senior high school. The schools in this district have a predominantly white student population and vary in their academic performance and funding levels.

Centennial Elementary School stands out as a high-performing school, ranking among the top elementary schools in Nebraska and consistently outperforming the district and state averages in key test score metrics. In contrast, Centennial Junior-Senior High School has a slightly lower academic performance compared to the district and state, despite having the highest per-student spending among the three schools. Centennial Middle School also performs well, ranking among the top middle schools in the state and outperforming the district and state averages in several test score areas.

The funding allocation within the Centennial Public Schools district is noteworthy, with a significant difference in per-student spending between the schools. This raises questions about the equity of resource distribution and the potential impact on student outcomes. Additionally, the district's predominantly white student population suggests a need to explore ways to foster greater diversity and inclusion within the schools.
