Summary

Centerville Elementary is a public PK-5 school in Anderson, SC, serving 536 students as part of the Anderson 05 school district.

Centerville is a school on the rise. After ranking in the 25th percentile statewide in 2024-2025, the school jumped to the 49th percentile in 2025-2026—a dramatic one-year improvement of 149 positions. This progress is especially visible in upper-grade math: 5th graders now score above both district and state averages, with 55.2% proficient compared to 49.1% statewide. The school also shows notable strength in supporting students from low-income backgrounds and African American students, both of whom perform better relative to peers than the school's overall ranking suggests. With 100% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, this is a meaningful accomplishment. Class sizes are favorable too, with a 12.7:1 student-to-teacher ratio that's lower than most nearby schools.

However, there are challenges. Chronic absenteeism sits at 24.5%, which is roughly double the rate at higher-performing neighbors like Midway Elementary (12.2%) and North Pointe Elementary (13.1%). Early-grade math is also a weak spot—3rd grade proficiency is 42.9% versus 59.2% statewide. The school spends $13,232 per student, slightly less than some top-performing peers, suggesting that how resources are used matters more than the total amount. For parents, the key takeaway is that Centerville is improving quickly, particularly in later elementary grades, but attendance and early math skills remain the biggest opportunities for continued growth.
