One potential factor contributing to Centerville Elementary School's lower academic performance may be its significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to the nearby schools, such as Mountain Park Elementary, Brookwood Elementary, and Head Elementary. These nearby schools consistently outperform Centerville Elementary School in academic metrics and have higher state-wide rankings. Despite the higher per-student spending at Centerville Elementary School, the school's educational outcomes have not improved, suggesting that the school may benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices and support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
