Summary:
The city of Centerville, Iowa is home to three public schools - one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school - all part of the Centerville Community School District. Based on the available data, the schools in Centerville appear to be performing below the state average on various academic metrics, with low statewide rankings and mixed test scores.
None of the Centerville schools stand out as clear academic leaders. Lakeview Elementary has the lowest ranking, placed in the bottom 30% of Iowa elementary schools, while Centerville High School and Howar Middle School are also in the bottom 30-40% of their respective school types. Test scores for the Centerville schools are generally below the state averages, with Lakeview Elementary particularly struggling in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
The Centerville schools serve a predominantly white student population, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 43.81% to 50.5%. This suggests the schools may be facing significant socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting academic outcomes. Additionally, the differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools indicate that resources may not be evenly distributed, potentially contributing to the disparities in performance.
