Centennial Middle School

Summary:

Centennial Middle School is a public middle school in Snohomish, Washington, serving around 720 students in grades 7-8. While part of the Snohomish School District, which is ranked 61 out of 247 districts in the state, Centennial Middle School has faced some challenges in recent years, including declining statewide rankings and lower test scores compared to the district and state averages.

One key area of concern is Centennial's racial makeup, which has a significantly higher percentage of white students (74-75%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Gateway Middle School and Eisenhower Middle School. Additionally, Centennial's test scores in English Language Arts (44.79%) and Math (36.46%) lag behind the Snohomish School District (61.17% and 51.44%) and the state (52.63% and 41.68%) averages. The school's performance on test scores for specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic and Special Education students, is also lower than the state averages for those subgroups.

While Centennial Middle School has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (23.9-28.33%) compared to nearby schools, this may indicate that the school serves a more affluent population, which could be a contributing factor to its performance. By closely examining these areas and learning from the practices of higher-performing schools in the region, such as Valley View Middle School and Gateway Middle School, Centennial Middle School has the opportunity to implement strategic improvements and better support the academic growth of all its students.

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.
