Summary:
The city of Centralia, Missouri is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Centralia R-VI school district. The data reveals a mix of standout and average-performing schools, with Centralia High School and Chester Boren Middle School emerging as the top performers in the district.
Centralia High School stands out with a 4-star rating, ranking 81 out of 367 Missouri high schools, and an impressive 96.9% four-year graduation rate. The school also outperforms the state average in key subjects like Algebra I, Biology I, and English I. In contrast, Chester Boren Middle School shines with a 3-star rating and significantly outperforming the state average in Mathematics tests across 6th, 7th, and 8th grades.
However, the district as a whole faces some challenges, with all 4 schools reporting a concerning 12.0% chronic absenteeism rate. Additionally, the relatively high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 23.72% to 29.35%, suggest a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. While spending per student and student-teacher ratios vary across the schools, the district's overall performance indicates areas for improvement to ensure equitable and high-quality education for all students in Centralia.
