Centerville Elementary

Public Grades

Summary

Centerville Elementary is a public elementary school in Garland, Texas, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Garland Independent School District. With a declining student population of 299 in the 2022-2023 school year, the school faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools.

Centerville Elementary's performance on state assessments is significantly lower than district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 5.88% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 49.39% in the district and 48.85% statewide. The school's struggles are particularly pronounced with English Language Learners and students with special needs, ranking in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools for these subgroups. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 92.31% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to its academic challenges.

Interestingly, Centerville Elementary's performance is generally lower than nearby schools in the Garland Independent School District, such as Watson Technology Center, Hillside Academy for Excel, and Handley Elementary, which have significantly higher academic achievement and rankings. The school's declining performance over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 2,945 out of 4,329 Texas elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 3,855 out of 4,675 schools in 2023-2024, suggests that the school may be facing ongoing challenges in addressing the academic needs of its student population.
