Summary:
The Centerville Community School District has only one elementary school, Lakeview Elementary, which serves students from grades K-5. The school's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels performing above the state average in English Language Arts but below in Mathematics and Science. Lakeview Elementary faces challenges related to its high percentage of students from low-income families, with nearly 50% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Lakeview Elementary's performance on the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) shows that 3rd grade students scored slightly below the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, while 4th and 5th grade students performed better in English Language Arts but below the state average in Mathematics. In Science, 5th grade students scored slightly below the state average. The school's overall academic performance has declined over the past three years, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating.
Despite the school's above-average per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance is not commensurate with the level of resources available. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and implement targeted interventions to address the specific challenges faced by its student population, particularly those from low-income families.
