Summary:
Centerville Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one elementary school, Centerville Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school has seen a concerning decline in its academic performance and statewide ranking over the past three years, with its SchoolDigger rating dropping from 3 stars to 1 star.
Centerville Elementary's STAAR test scores are consistently below the state averages in reading, mathematics, and science, with significant achievement gaps across grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 20% to 48.28% in reading and 2.04% to 33.33% in mathematics, compared to the state averages of 48.85% to 54.45% and 40.86% to 48.96%, respectively. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 22.22% also falls short of the state's 26.29%.
Despite the school's declining performance, it has a relatively high per-student spending of $13,145 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.4, which is lower than the state average. However, the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 55.1% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing the underlying factors contributing to the school's academic challenges, such as resource allocation, teaching practices, and support for socioeconomically disadvantaged students, could be crucial for improving student outcomes and the overall success of Centerville Independent School District (ISD).
