Summary

Centerville-Abington Elementary School is a grades 3–6 school in Centerville, Indiana, serving 530 students as part of Centerville-Abington Com Schools, a district ranked 65th of 374 in Indiana. The school earned 4 stars in 2025–26 and ranked 296th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 71st percentile — up from the 60th percentile in 2023–24. Because it serves grades 3–6, comparisons with nearby PK–2 or PK–5 schools should be made carefully, but its results still stand out locally.

Academically, Centerville-Abington is one of the strongest elementary schools in its area. In 2025–26, 49.36% of students were proficient in English language arts, 52.54% in math, and 53.31% in science — second among nearby schools in ELA and math behind only Charles Elementary School, and ahead of Hagerstown Elementary School, Northeastern Elementary School, and Western Wayne Elementary School. Grade-level results vary: 3rd-grade math reached 72.45% and 6th-grade science 62.71%, while 5th grade is the clear watch point, with 39.39% in ELA and 33.33% in math, both below state averages.

Attendance is a major strength: chronic absenteeism was 7.7% in 2024–25, well below the district's 9.6% and the state's 16.7%, and improved from 10.2% in 2021–22. The school serves a moderately high-poverty population (50.57% free/reduced lunch) yet spends the least among nearby schools at $8,928 per student in 2023–24, with a 17.3 student-teacher ratio — suggesting efficient use of resources. One thing to watch: Rose Hamilton Elementary School, the district's PK–2 school, has 13.1% chronic absenteeism, which may affect future cohorts.

Open Quote None of the administrators or principals take responsibility for the quality or lack there of. They only look at your childs test scores to evaluate him/her. If you have a good test taker, its fine. If not, there are lots of problems. My child has a B average in class work, yet falls short on the standardized tests. Their only answer was to put her in "special" classes. The principal also informed me that I had "no choice" in my childs education. They were only informing me that a change would be happening. Last time I checked, I have many choices! This school is not one of them! Close Quote
