Summary

Centralia Intermediate is an elementary school in Centralia, Missouri, serving 306 students in grades 3-5. It is part of the Centralia R-VI school district, which is ranked 86 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Centralia Intermediate has generally performed better than the state average in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) assessments across grades 3-5. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 4th-grade Math proficiency rate was 54.4% compared to the state average of 43.8%, and its 4th-grade ELA proficiency rate was 51.4% compared to the state average of 44.8%. The school also has relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 6.8% to 14.0% in recent years, which is lower than the state average. Additionally, Centralia Intermediate has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (27.78% in 2023-2024) compared to some nearby schools, such as McMillan Early Learning Center (100.3%) and Eugene Field Elementary (100%).

While Centralia Intermediate's overall performance is strong, its ranking for specific subgroups, such as White students and low-socioeconomic status students, is in the middle range compared to other Missouri elementary schools. The school's student-teacher ratio of 15.8 is higher than the nearby Chance Elementary (13.6) and Hallsville Primary (15.2), but lower than the larger schools like Alpha Hart Lewis (12.2) and Eugene Field Elementary (13.2). Overall, Centralia Intermediate is a solid-performing school, but there may be opportunities to improve outcomes for specific subgroups and learn from the higher-performing nearby schools in the Hallsville R-IV district.
