Summary

Centerville Middle is a large public school serving about 1,500 students in grades 6-8 within the high-performing Fremont Unified district, consistently earning 4-star ratings and ranking in the top 15% of all California middle schools.

While Centerville's academic results are strong compared to the state average, there is a noticeable performance gap when compared to other top middle schools in its own district, such as John M. Horner Middle, William Hopkins Middle, and Thornton Middle. The school has a higher rate of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and a chronic absenteeism rate (12.1%) that is double that of some district peers, factors often correlated with academic outcomes.

Notably, Centerville shows significant strengths in supporting English Language Learners and students with special needs. When compared to schools in neighboring districts like Hayward Unified or Newark Unified, it performs very well, highlighting the overall strength of the Fremont district. The school serves as a solid, high-performing option that excels with certain student groups while working to close gaps with its highest-achieving district neighbors.
