Summary:
Centerville, Indiana is a small city served by four public schools — two elementary schools, one junior high and one senior high — all part of the Centerville-Abington Com Schools district, which enrolls about 1,755 students and ranks in the 83rd percentile of Indiana districts with a 4-star rating.
All three currently ranked Centerville schools earned 4 stars in 2025–2026, and each is improving. Centerville-Abington Elementary School rose from the 60th to the 71st percentile, with especially strong math and science results: 3rd grade math at 72.45% and 6th grade science at 62.71%, both well above state averages. Its weak spot is 5th grade, where math is 33.33% and ELA 39.39%, slightly below state. Centerville-Abington Junior High School climbed from the 60th to 74th percentile, has the lowest chronic absenteeism in the group at 7.1%, and beats the state in 7th and 8th grade ELA and 8th grade math — but its overall math proficiency of 38.43% trails the district’s 47.59% and slipped from the prior year. Centerville Senior High School has the strongest outcomes: a 97.3% graduation rate, 4 stars for three straight years, SAT reading/writing at 64.23% versus 51.9% statewide, and the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (36.1%) and student-teacher ratio (14.5). Still, its percentile fell from 88 to 78, and SAT math (27.64%) and biology (46.81%) declined.
Every Centerville school is below Indiana’s 16.7% chronic absenteeism rate. Rose Hamilton Elementary School serves PK–2, so it has no current state test scores — that is not a failure, just its grade span. It has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (50.79%) and the highest local absenteeism (13.1%), though still below state. Overall, Centerville schools are solidly above average, with the biggest concerns being junior high math and recent high school math and biology declines.
