Summary:

The Centralia Elementary district consists of eight elementary schools (K-6) serving communities in Buena Park, La Palma, and Anaheim, with the district ranking above average statewide.

Performance varies significantly across the district. Los Coyotes Elementary is the clear top performer, achieving test scores in the 99th percentile for California with remarkably low chronic absenteeism. Buena Terra Elementary is also a strong school in the 92nd percentile. In contrast, the namesake Centralia Elementary faces the greatest challenges, with the district's lowest test scores and highest chronic absenteeism rate. An interesting case is Danbrook Elementary, which performs better than expected given its student population.

Key factors influencing school performance include chronic absenteeism, which is strongly correlated with academic outcomes, and per-student spending, which does not directly correlate with success—Los Coyotes spends less per student than Raymond Temple Elementary but performs far better. Overall, the district's students outperform state averages in both English, math, and attendance.
