Summary:
Centreville Junior Senior High School is the sole high school in the Centreville Public Schools district, serving grades 7 through 12 with 407 students in a small, rural Michigan community. This single-school district means all local high schoolers share one campus, and its performance relative to state averages offers the clearest picture for parents.
Academically, the school shows a pronounced split between humanities and STEM. In 2025-2026, 11th-grade science proficiency reached 51.7% and social studies hit 60%, both well above Michigan averages (35.2% and 43.2%). Ninth-grade PSAT English Language Arts proficiency was a strong 77% versus the state’s 60.2%. However, math is a persistent weakness: 10th-grade PSAT math proficiency was just 17.6% (state: 31.5%), and 11th-grade SAT math was 23.3% (state: 26.5%). Reading also dips by senior year—11th-grade SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing falls to 45%, below the state’s 52.1%, despite strong underclassman results. Test scores fluctuate notably year to year, likely due to small class sizes; for example, 7th-grade ELA proficiency swung from 52.2% to 35.1% between 2024-2025 and 2025-2026.
Graduation outcomes are exceptional: the 2024-2025 graduation rate was 98.2% versus the state’s 84.0%, with a dropout rate of just 1.7% (state: 7.1%). Yet chronic absenteeism is a red flag at 33.8%, far exceeding the district’s 23.4% and the state’s 27.9%—a paradox where most students persist to graduation despite missing significant school time. Nearly half of students (48.65%) qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating moderate economic need. The district spends $14,786 per student with a 16:1 student-teacher ratio. State ranking has been volatile, moving from the 61st percentile (2023-2024) to the 74th (2024-2025), then dropping to the 67th percentile (2025-2026), currently ranked 264th out of 800 Michigan high schools. Parents should weigh the school’s strong graduation rate and humanities performance against its math challenges and absenteeism concerns.
