Summary

Centerville School is an elementary school located in Sand Coulee, MT, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 120 students. It is part of the Centerville Elementary School District, which is ranked 192 out of 387 districts in Montana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Centerville School has shown strong academic performance in recent years, ranking 86 out of 401 Montana elementary schools and receiving a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's test scores are generally higher than the district and state averages, with 52.08% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 50% proficient or better in Mathematics. Centerville School also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.8, lower than many nearby schools.

While Centerville School outperforms the nearby schools in the Centerville Elementary district, some schools in the Great Falls Elementary district, such as Chief Joseph School, also perform well and have higher rankings than Centerville School. The school's small size, with an enrollment of 120 students, may contribute to the low student-teacher ratio and potentially more personalized attention for students. However, the moderate percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 45.83%, suggests that the surrounding community may face some socioeconomic challenges.
