Key indicators

A broader look at the district

Selected measures of attendance, resident population and student progress. Reporting dates are shown with each measure because these data are published on different schedules.

Resident school-age population vs enrollment

How much of the resident school-age population is reflected in district enrollment?

Matched annual comparison using Census ACS ages 5–17 estimates and Centennial October enrollment. This is a useful indicator, not a literal market-share count.

ACS is a survey estimate, and ages 5–17 do not exactly equal K–12 enrollment eligibility. Transfers, private/charter school attendance, homeschooling, and timing differences can also affect the ratio.

What is ACS?

ACS stands for American Community Survey, a U.S. Census Bureau survey. The figures here are 5-year statistical estimates of people living inside the district boundary, not exact headcounts or official school enrollment.
