Original Research by School Decision on Centennial Middle School Online
Centennial Middle School Online is a public school in Lino Lakes, Minnesota, serving grades six through eight as part of the Centennial Public School District. The school is designated as a regular school and is not a charter. Its name indicates a virtual or online instructional model, though the data available offers limited detail on how that program operates.
The school reports no enrolled students in any of its served grades, and no students are recorded in any racial or ethnic category. Information on free or reduced-price meal eligibility, special education services, and English learner supports is absent. Because the school serves only middle school grades, a four-year graduation rate does not apply. State assessment results were not reported, and data on chronic absenteeism, discipline, staffing, and course access is similarly unavailable. The comparison against other districts in Anoka County could not compute proficiency or attendance metrics due to this absence of data. Families considering this school should contact the district directly to understand whether the online program is currently active, how enrollment works, and what academic and support services are offered.
The Centennial district itself has made several parent-relevant changes. Voters approved an operating levy referendum in 2023 that provides ongoing general fund revenue for class sizes, student support, and academic programs. Beginning in the 2025–2026 school year, the district expanded to full-day kindergarten at no cost to all families. A five-year strategic plan adopted in 2022 focuses on academic excellence, social-emotional learning, and fiscal stewardship, developed with broad community input.
Lino Lakes is an outer suburb of the Twin Cities, covering a large area with many lakes and wetlands. The city is car-dependent, with no traditional walkable downtown. Its population has been growing steadily, and the housing market reflects an affluent suburban profile. The Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve is a major natural and civic anchor. Schools within the city are distributed on separate campuses, and portions of Lino Lakes are served by two different districts. The Centennial district’s other schools provide the context for the broader educational landscape, but for Centennial Middle School Online specifically, the available public data does not describe an active student body or measurable academic outcomes. Prospective families should seek current information directly from the school or district.
