Kyrene Centennial Middle School

Summary:

Kyrene Centennial Middle School is a public middle school in Phoenix, Arizona, serving 648 students in grades 5-8 as part of the Kyrene Elementary District. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is more balanced compared to nearby middle schools in the district.

Academically, Kyrene Centennial Middle School's performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, is generally lower than the district and state averages. The school's statewide ranking has also declined in recent years, dropping from 3 to 2 stars. Interestingly, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian students performing relatively well but African American and Native American students struggling. Additionally, the school's growing free and reduced lunch rate suggests an increasing population of economically disadvantaged students, which may be contributing to the academic challenges.

Compared to other middle schools in the Kyrene Elementary District, such as Kyrene Aprende Middle School and Kyrene Altadena Middle School, Kyrene Centennial Middle School generally underperforms in terms of academic proficiency and statewide rankings. The school's leadership and the district should closely examine these issues and implement targeted strategies to improve the educational experiences and outcomes for all 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.
