Summary:

The 52544 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Centerville Community School District. While some schools, like Lakeview Elementary, have test scores on par with district and state averages, others, such as Centerville High School, perform below average in many subject areas. Chronic absenteeism rates are high across all three main schools, suggesting an area of concern that may require targeted interventions.

Lakeview Elementary has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6%, but its test scores are generally on par with or slightly below district and state averages. In contrast, Howar Middle School has a similar chronic absenteeism rate, but its test scores are mixed, with some grade levels performing above and others below the district and state averages. Centerville High School stands out with a lower 4-year graduation rate of 88.3% and test scores that are below the district and state averages in many subject areas.

Socioeconomic factors may play a role, as the schools in this area have relatively high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 36.21% at Centerville Community Preschool Bldg to 49.72% at Lakeview Elementary. The differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools also suggest variations in resource allocation that may impact educational outcomes.
