Centennial Elementary School, Orem

The short answer

Centennial Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades K to 6 in the Alpine School District, in central Orem, Utah. It opened in 2019 on the former Scera Park site and consolidated the former Hillcrest and Scera Park elementary schools, so the building is newer than most elementaries in Orem. It carries a 7 out of 10 GreatSchools rating and tests above the Utah average. Based on its location, most students continue on to Orem Junior High and then Mountain View High School.

How good is Centennial Elementary?

Centennial Elementary earns a 7 out of 10 GreatSchools rating, which places it above average among Utah public elementary schools. On recent state testing, roughly 54 percent of students scored proficient in math and 50 percent in reading, both above the statewide average for schools serving these grades.

Because Centennial opened in 2019, the building is one of the newest elementary campuses in Orem. Class sizes run about 25 students per teacher, on the higher side for the district, which is common at a consolidated school drawing from more than one former boundary.

Where Centennial Elementary fits

Centennial is a relatively new school with an unusual backstory. It opened in 2019 on the former Scera Park site and brought together students from the former Hillcrest and Scera Park elementary schools, both of which closed. If you are looking at older listings or older school data, you may still see Hillcrest or Scera Park referenced for this part of Orem. Those addresses now attend Centennial.

Based on its central Orem location, the likely progression from Centennial runs:

• Elementary: Centennial Elementary, grades K to 6
• Junior high: Orem Junior High, grades 7 to 9
• High school: Mountain View High School, grades 10 to 12

Utah County high schools do not have their own detail pages on this site yet, so explore the wider market on our Orem area page. Some central Orem addresses route to Orem High instead, and boundaries shift over time, so confirm your exact address with the Alpine School District. You can read up on the junior high on our Orem Junior High page.

Utah County voters approved splitting the Alpine School District into three smaller districts beginning with the 2027 to 2028 school year. Orem is slated to join the new Timpanogos School District, alongside Lindon, Pleasant Grove, and Vineyard. School assignments are expected to carry over at first, but future boundary decisions will move to the new district.

A local broker’s take

If schools are steering your Orem search, Centennial Elementary is one of the stronger picks in central Orem: a newer building, above-average scores, and a location next to Scera Park. Just keep in mind that it consolidated two older schools, so any listing that still lists Hillcrest or Scera Park is pointing at the same modern campus. When you find a home you like, we will confirm its exact boundary before you write an offer.
