State report card
Centennial Academy’s 2025 CCRPI single score was 71.2, according to the state’s School Grades data. Because it spans more than one level, the state also scores each part: elementary grades 68.8 and middle grades 76.7. The Georgia single score for all schools was 78.0 and Atlanta Public Schools’ was 77.0. The school’s single score was 70.6 in 2023, 78.4 in 2024 and 71.2 in 2025.

CCRPI is the Georgia Department of Education’s “comprehensive school improvement, accountability, and communication platform,” according to GaDOE. The single score runs from 0 to 100 and is built from content mastery, progress, closing gaps and readiness, plus graduation rate for high schools. Georgia does not publish an A-to-F letter grade for schools in its 2025 data.

Attendance zone
Zones are drawn by Atlanta Public Schools, so a neighborhood name or mailing address does not settle which school a home is zoned for. Check the address with the APS School Zone Locator; the district’s zone map for Centennial Academy shows the school’s boundary.
Centennial Academy is in the Midtown cluster, according to the district’s feeder pattern list, alongside Howard Middle. The school runs through eighth grade, so its students go on to Midtown High.
We found no board-approved rezoning that changes Centennial Academy’s zone. In December 2025 the Atlanta Board of Education approved Phase 1 of APS Forward 2040, the district’s long-range facilities plan, which closes six schools in fall 2027, according to the district. The zone changes that follow, which the board is scheduled to vote on Monday, Dec. 7, are centered on the closing elementary schools; draft maps are on the district’s APS Forward 2040 page.
