Centennial High School

Summary:

Centennial High School is a public high school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 2,865 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is the 7th ranked district out of 13 in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, Centennial High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 33rd out of 105 schools in 2013-2014 (4-star rating) to 76th out of 97 schools in the most recent 2023-2024 school year (1-star rating).

Centennial High School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on various state assessments, is generally lower than the surrounding schools and the district/state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Centennial's proficiency rates in EOC Science (12.4%), ACT Mathematics (13.4%), and ACT English (37.5%) were all significantly below the Clark County and Nevada state averages. Additionally, the school's performance on various student subgroups, such as Asian, African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learners, is also generally lower compared to the surrounding schools and state averages.

Centennial High School has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This is significantly higher than the surrounding schools, such as Shadow Ridge High School and Palo Verde High School, which have lower free/reduced lunch rates. The combination of Centennial High School's diverse student population, high poverty levels, and lower academic performance compared to nearby schools suggests that the school may face unique challenges in terms of resource allocation, teacher quality, and targeted interventions to support student learning.

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.
