Centralia Elementary

Summary:

Centralia Elementary is a public elementary school located in Anaheim, California, serving grades K-6 with a student population of 441. It is part of the Centralia Elementary District, which is ranked 382 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 4-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Centralia Elementary's academic performance, as measured by the Smarter Balanced Assessments, is generally below the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, with some exceptions in 6th grade ELA and 3rd grade Mathematics. The school's performance in Science, as measured by the CAST assessment, is also below the state average. However, Centralia Elementary's performance for specific student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and Disabled Students, is relatively strong compared to the overall school performance. The school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.3% in 2017-2018 to 32.1% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state average and the nearby schools in the Centralia Elementary District.

Compared to nearby schools, Buena Terra Elementary consistently outperforms Centralia Elementary and the state average in both ELA and Mathematics. Other nearby schools, such as San Marino Elementary, Glen H. Dysinger Senior Elementary, and Danbrook Elementary, also generally outperform Centralia Elementary in academic assessments, with some exceptions in specific grade levels or subject areas. The significant increase in chronic absenteeism at Centralia Elementary is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation and intervention, as it is not as prevalent in the nearby schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
