Summary:
Zip code 49032 is home to just one elementary school, Centreville Elementary School, which serves grades PK through 6 and is part of the Centreville Public Schools district.
Centreville Elementary stands out for its remarkable academic momentum, particularly in upper grades. Sixth graders far exceed state averages in English Language Arts, with 58.3% proficiency compared to the state's 37.5%—a gap of nearly 21 points. The school also shines in 5th grade social studies (34.9% vs. 27.5% statewide) and science (42.9% vs. 40%). However, lower grades show room for growth: 3rd and 4th graders trail state averages in both ELA and math by 7 to 13 points. The school's overall ranking has improved dramatically, climbing from 828th in 2023-2024 to 705th in 2025-2026, signaling a strong upward trend. Year-over-year gains are consistent across nearly every subject, with 3rd grade math jumping 10.9 points and 5th grade social studies rising 11.7 points in just one year.
Despite serving a majority low-income population (56.64% free/reduced lunch), the school maintains excellent attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 14.4%—roughly half the state average of 27.9%. This suggests strong family engagement and a positive school culture. The student-teacher ratio is 16.6:1, and per-student spending is $14,942. While math proficiency in grades 3-5 remains below state benchmarks, the consistent improvements across all subjects indicate effective instructional strategies are taking hold. For parents, this school offers a well-rounded education with notable strengths in upper-grade ELA and social studies, plus a clear trajectory of improvement that suggests the school is building toward even stronger performance in coming years.
