Summary:
The Centerville Community School District in Iowa has only one high school, Centerville High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The data shows that Centerville High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Iowa high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state.
Centerville High School's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science generally lower than the state averages. The school's four-year graduation rate of 88.3% is slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% is significantly higher than the state average. These factors suggest that the school may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
Socioeconomic factors may also be contributing to the school's struggles, as Centerville High School has a relatively high percentage of students (41%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. The school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, but the student-teacher ratio is slightly higher than the typical recommended ratio. To improve the school's performance, the district and school leaders may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the root causes of these issues.
