Summary

Centerville Elementary is a public magnet elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Anderson, South Carolina, with 598 students enrolled. The school is part of the Anderson 05 school district, which is ranked 24th out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the district's strong performance, Centerville Elementary has consistently underperformed on standardized tests, with only 50% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 57.5% for the district and 61.8% for the state. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.5% to 25.8% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Centerville's statewide ranking has declined over the past several years, from 299th out of 625 South Carolina elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 481st out of 640 in 2024-2025, and it is currently rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Interestingly, several nearby schools in the Anderson 05 district, such as Midway Elementary and Concord Elementary, significantly outperform Centerville Elementary on academic measures, despite the school spending more per student ($12,094 in 2023-2024) compared to the state average. This suggests that Centerville may not be effectively utilizing its resources to support student learning.
