Summary

Centralia Elementary serves 496 students in grades K–6 in Anaheim, in a group of 11 nearby K–6 schools with an average enrollment of about 454. For 2025–2026, SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 29th percentile with 1 star (4,131 of 5,804), compared with the Centralia Elementary district’s 75th-percentile, 4-star rating. The most important finding is that Centralia’s proficiency was below the state and district in ELA, math and science, and below every nearby school in ELA and math.

ELA is Centralia’s clearest weakness, while science is its least-behind subject compared with nearby schools. In 2025–2026, Centralia’s proficiency was 29% in ELA, 31% in math and 28% in science, versus nearby-school averages of 51%, 49% and 41%, respectively. That put Centralia 22 points below the nearby average in ELA, 19 points below in math and 13 points below in science. It was also below the state by 20 points in ELA and 8 points in both math and science, and below its district by 28, 27 and 21 points, respectively. Science was second-lowest among nearby schools, just above Twila Reid Elementary.

Results have varied over time: SchoolDigger’s overall percentile fell from 62 in 2015–2016 to 29 in 2025–2026, including a 13-point drop from the previous year. ELA fell 8 percentage points in the latest year, while math fell 3; science improved 9 points over the four years reported. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for special education students was much higher than the school’s overall ranking: the 82nd percentile in 2025–2026 versus 29th overall. For English Language Learner students, the ranking reached the 87th percentile in 2023–2024, compared with 46th overall that year. These rankings indicate notably stronger relative performance for those groups, but do not describe individual students. Context includes 88% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, compared with a nearby-school average of 77%, and chronic absenteeism of 20% in 2025–2026, versus 10% districtwide and 18% statewide.
