Summary

Centerville Elementary is a K–5 school in Centerville, MN, part of the Centennial Public School District, serving 607 students. It remains a solid school: in 2025–2026 it ranked 233rd of 869 Minnesota elementary schools (73rd percentile, 4 stars), and its math and reading proficiency stayed above district and state averages—65.6% in math vs 56.5% district and 44.9% state, and 60.6% in reading vs 56.7% district and 48.6% state. However, this is a decline from its recent history, when it ranked in the top 10% of Minnesota elementary schools just a few years ago.

The clearest academic concern is science. In 2025–2026, only 18.5% of Centerville students were proficient in science, compared with 28.6% in the district and 25.5% statewide. Among nearby K–5 schools, only Lino Lakes Elementary (14.1%) was lower, while Golden Lake Elementary (19.0%), North Star Elementary (20.0%), Oneka Elementary School (21.5%), Centennial Elementary (21.6%), Otter Lake Elementary (26.3%), Blue Heron Elementary (34.7%), Sunrise Elementary (43.2%), and Rice Lake Elementary (50.4%) all did better. Grade-level results show a related pattern: 3rd grade math is a strength at 79.4%, but 5th grade math is 50.0%, and 5th grade science is 18.5%. Reading is comparatively stable, with 5th grade reading at 65.4%.

Centerville’s decline does not appear to be explained by poverty or class size. Free/reduced lunch was 14.66% in 2024–2025—low and stable—and the student-teacher ratio improved to 16.3. Low-income and special education students have generally been served well, though some subgroup trends deserve a closer look. Locally, Centerville remains stronger than several nearby schools in math and reading, but it trails top performers such as Rice Lake Elementary and Blue Heron Elementary, especially in science. The school’s foundation is solid, but science and upper-grade math are the areas to watch.
