Century High School

Summary:

Century High School is a public high school located in Hillsboro, Oregon, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,551 students. It is part of the Hillsboro School District 1J, which is ranked 56 out of 140 school districts in Oregon and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Century High School has consistently performed better than the Hillsboro School District and the state of Oregon in terms of the percentage of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science on the OSAS assessments. The school also has strong performance among certain student subgroups, particularly African American students and Multi-racial students, who have ranked highly compared to other high schools in Oregon. However, the nearby Beaverton School District, which includes schools like Sunset High School and Beaverton High School, tends to have higher academic performance than Century High School, particularly in Mathematics and Science.

Century High School has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 46.03% in the 2022-2023 school year, suggesting that the school serves a population with a higher proportion of students from low-income families. The school has also seen a decrease in its student-teacher ratio over the past few years, from 25.4 in 2020-2021 to 21.7 in 2022-2023, which may have contributed to the school's academic performance. Overall, Century High School is a solid-performing high school within the Hillsboro School District, but it faces challenges related to the socioeconomic status of its student population and may benefit from continued efforts to improve academic outcomes, especially in comparison to higher-performing schools in the neighboring Beaverton School District.

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.
