Centennial Middle School

Centennial Middle School sits in the outer east side of Portland, a part of the city that feels more suburban than the trendy neighborhoods closer to downtown, with a genuine working-class character and strong community roots. The school serves a diverse student body, and families here tend to be deeply invested in the neighborhood itself rather than chasing the more competitive school options elsewhere in the metro area. It's a solid choice for families who value a grounded, community-connected school experience in one of Portland's more affordable and unpretentious corners.
