Summary

Centerville High School is a small, alternative public school in rural Centerville, Louisiana, serving 429 students in grades PK through 12 under the St. Mary Parish school district, with 74% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

The school’s standout strength is its near-perfect graduation and dropout rates. Over the last five years, Centerville has maintained a dropout rate as low as 0.0% and a graduation rate of 94.9%, far exceeding state averages. This shows the school is exceptionally effective at keeping students on track to earn a diploma. However, this success is paired with significant academic challenges. In high school End-of-Course exams, proficiency rates are well below state averages—only 35% of students are proficient in English II and 36% in Geometry, compared to state rates of 67% and 57%, respectively. This creates a "graduation vs. proficiency" paradox: the school excels at retention but struggles to ensure students meet college and career readiness standards. For comparison, the nearby V. B. Glencoe Charter School—also an alternative school—achieves much higher proficiency rates (84% in English II and 79% in Geometry), highlighting a 30-49 percentage point gap in core subjects.

Another concern is chronic absenteeism, which has risen to 25.7% in 2024-2025, above both the district (23.0%) and state (22.5%) averages. This trend has increased sharply from a low of 8.8% in 2021-2022. On a positive note, the school shows a promising trend in overall math proficiency, which has climbed from 56% to 66% over three years, now slightly above the state average. Additionally, Centerville performs above state averages in several middle school subjects, such as 8th grade math (70% vs. 52%) and 6th grade ELA (85% vs. 74%), though this success does not carry into high school. The school’s primary challenge is to translate its strong retention rates into better academic outcomes for older students.
