Summary:
The Centralia R-VI school district in Missouri is home to two elementary schools: Chance Elementary and Centralia Intermediate. Both schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and have maintained consistent performance over the past few years.
Chance Elementary has a slightly higher SchoolDigger rating of 3 stars compared to Centralia Intermediate's 2-3 star rating. Chance Elementary also has a lower free/reduced lunch rate of 25.08% compared to Centralia Intermediate's 32.46%, suggesting Centralia Intermediate may serve a more economically disadvantaged student population. Additionally, Chance Elementary spends $9,594 per student, while Centralia Intermediate spends $8,122 per student, and Chance Elementary has a lower student-teacher ratio of 14.4 compared to Centralia Intermediate's 16.2.
Academically, Centralia Intermediate's 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students generally perform at or slightly above the district and state averages in Math and English Language Arts (ELA) assessments. However, in Science, Centralia Intermediate's 5th-grade students scored slightly below the state average in 2022-2023 and 2023-2024, which could be an area for improvement. Overall, both schools in the Centralia R-VI district are performing reasonably well, with some differences in student demographics, resource allocation, and academic performance that could be further explored to identify areas for improvement and best practices that can be shared between the two schools.
