Centennial Elementary School

Summary:

Centennial Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Evans, Colorado, serving 457 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Greeley School District No. 6, which is ranked 97 out of 116 districts in Colorado and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Centennial Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (68.49%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, which is an important factor in analyzing the school's performance. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Colorado elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, and its proficiency rates in CMAS tests are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grades and subjects. Over 80% of Centennial Elementary's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.8 to 15.9 over the past three years.

While Centennial Elementary is performing poorly compared to the state, some nearby schools within the same district, such as Maplewood Elementary and Scott Elementary, are also struggling with low academic performance and similar student demographics. This suggests that the challenges faced by Centennial Elementary may be systemic within the Greeley School District No. 6. However, the nearby Chappelow K-8 Magnet School, which serves a similar student population, has significantly higher academic performance, indicating that with the right interventions and resources, Centennial Elementary could potentially improve its outcomes.

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.
