Summary:
Centerville City is a suburban Ohio district of 12 schools — eight elementary (including two PK–1 primaries), three middle, and one high school — serving roughly 8,250 students, and it ranks 142nd of 773 districts statewide, in the 82nd percentile with a 4-star district rating. Most schools score above the state average, but results vary widely from building to building, so the individual school matters a great deal.
The clearest standouts are Dr John Hole Elementary School, a 5-star school ranked 78th of 1,560 elementaries (95th percentile) that has climbed from 173rd to 78th in three years, scores above the district in all seven tested areas, and has the district's lowest chronic absenteeism at 6.1%; and Tower Heights Middle School, a 5-star school ranked 79th of 1,046 middle schools (92nd percentile), also improving, with 100% proficiency in Algebra I and Geometry End-of-Course tests and low free/reduced lunch (19.96%). Weller Elementary School (89th percentile, 4 stars) and Centerville High School (89th percentile, 4 stars, 97.4% graduation rate) round out the strongest performers.
On the other end, Normandy Elementary School has slid from 414th to 657th (58th percentile, 3 stars), scores below the district in every tested area, and has the district's highest free/reduced lunch rate at 36.36%; Driscoll Elementary School (65th percentile, 3 stars) also trails the elementary average. The PK–1 Centerville Primary Village South has no state test data but the district's highest chronic absenteeism at 18.8%. Math is the recurring weak spot, particularly high school Geometry and Algebra I and a few elementary grades.
