POCATELLO — Century High School has earned high marks in a new U.S. News & World Report as a top school on the national, state and local levels.

The U.S. News & World Report for 2025 and 2026 ranked Century eighth overall in Idaho and fourth among traditional public schools in the Gem State with only three charter schools placing higher. Century was also distinguished as the top-performing high school locally.

On the national level, Century achieved strong results, too, ranking 1,679 out of nearly 18,000 schools reviewed, placing it in the top 11 percent of all high schools across the country.

“These rankings are a testament to the dedication of our learners, teachers, staff and families,” said Courtney Fisher, School District 25 director of communications. “Century’s recognition as one of the top high schools in Idaho underscores (School District 25’s) standing as a high-performing district, committed to delivering exceptional learning experiences and preparing every learner for success in college, career and life.”

A Pocatello-Chubbuck School District 25 news release stated Century High School’s recognition reinforces its commitment to excellence in education.

The U.S. News & World Report rankings are based on factors that include state assessments, graduation rates and college readiness.
