About Centerville Elementary

Centerville Elementary serves kindergarten through eighth grade in Centerville, Washington, enrolling 89 students at a student-teacher ratio of 17.8:1. It is a regular public school operating across a broad K–8 grade span. The school earns a composite score of 9.0 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — anchored by a 9.5 academic score and a 9.3 growth score that together point to strong proficiency and steady year-over-year student progress.

The statewide standing puts that performance in context. Among 2,225 public schools in Washington, Centerville ranks #102, outperforming 96% of the state. Among elementary schools specifically, it sits at #98 of 1,202 — both figures placing it in Washington's top tier.

That standing is notable given the school's size. With 89 students spread across nine grade levels, Centerville runs lean. The near-perfect academic score shows proficiency results that clear the bar even under statewide comparison, and the 9.3 growth score signals those results aren't a one-year anomaly — students are advancing at a consistent clip that keeps the school ranked near the top of the state's public elementary field.

What Parents Should Know

With an enrollment of 89 students, Centerville Elementary is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

Located in a rural area, Centerville Elementary may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
