Summary

Centerville Elementary serves 409 students in grades K–8 in Sanger, California. Its 2025–2026 results are mixed: math proficiency is above the state average, while ELA and science are below it; all three subjects are below the averages for Sanger Unified. The most important finding is that Centerville had the lowest all-grades results in ELA, math, and science among the nearby K–8 schools Quail Lake Environmental Charter, Fairmont Elementary, and Sanger Academy Charter.

Math is Centerville’s strongest all-grades subject against the state: 42% of students were proficient, compared with 38% statewide, though the result was 2 points below the district and 5 points below the nearby-school average. ELA was 47% proficient, 2 points below the state and 8 below the district; it was also 7 points below the nearby-school average. Science was 34% proficient, 2 points below the state and 5 below the district, but about 1 point above the nearby-school average. Grade-level results show important exceptions: eighth-grade math was 54%, 18 points above the state and 16 above the district, while fifth-grade ELA was 59%, 10 points above the state and 4 above the district. Seventh-grade ELA was weaker at 42%, about 9 points below both the state and district.

Results have improved since 2022–2023: ELA rose 9 percentage points, math 11, and science 4 by 2025–2026. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking rose from the 38th percentile with 2 stars in 2024–2025 to the 60th percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026. Chronic absenteeism also fell from 28% in 2021–2022 to 6% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 13% and the state’s 18%. As context, the student-teacher ratio was 21.2 in 2024–2025, and 58% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide English Language Learner Students measure rose from the 28th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 74th in 2023–2024, indicating a marked improvement in how well the school served this group; that subgroup series does not extend to the latest overall ranking year. In 2025–2026, the Low Socio Economic Status Students measure was at the 44th percentile, 16 points below the school’s overall percentile.

Its a great school. Very family orientated, friendly and the education is great. this was my both daughters first year in centerville and I have never been so happy with a school. they both have achieved beyond what is expected: socially and education. I couldn't ask for such a better school. Close Quote
