Q: Is Centerville Elementary a good school?

Centerville Elementary ranks 329 th of 638 South Carolina elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Centerville Elementary is a public elementary school located in Gilbert, South Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 816. The school is part of the Lexington 01 school district, which is ranked 19 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Centerville Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (72.18%) compared to the surrounding schools, its academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in SC READY/English Language Arts and Mathematics, is generally lower than the Lexington 01 district and the state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate was 55.9%, compared to 58.2% for the district and 53.8% for the state. Additionally, the school's performance on various student subgroups, such as white students and low socioeconomic status students, is also lower than the state averages, with the school's ranking in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools.

Compared to other nearby schools in the Lexington 01 district, Centerville Elementary generally underperforms in academic measures, such as proficiency rates and SchoolDigger rankings. For instance, New Providence Elementary and Lake Murray Elementary, both within the same district, have significantly higher academic performance and statewide rankings. The school's relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (31.37% in 2022-2023) may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance compared to higher-income schools in the district.

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.
